Yes. I wouldn't want a lawyer designing my network architecture, and I don't think that LOPSA's core competence[1] is in designing legally binding policy documents. The discussion here has been great--and I hope that it's provided a sense of intent and tone that the membership[2] wants in a policy on harassment. Perhaps that's enough information and background to enable the subject matter expert to draft some policy language. Once the language is finalized, would this policy change be enacted by the board, or do the LOPSA by-laws call for a member vote? I really don't know how the organization is structured. [1] certain members may individually be competent to draft legal documents, but that's not the organization's strength or purpose [2] the members represented in this discussion--while influential--are a very limited sample of the LOPSA membership Mark => => => => -- => LITTLE GIRL: But which cookie will you eat FIRST? => COOKIE MONSTER: Me think you have misconception of cookie-eating process. => _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
