Fairly easily, but I'm not comfortable with that. I'd like to have more transparency and accountability than e-mailing cwg@ and hoping you get a response from a random volunteer. Specifically, I want such e-mails recorded so that the board can inspect them later on to make sure things were followed through, much like Ken's model and the one in KDE. They still would be private from the general membership, but the board and future CWG members could inspect for accountability. In that sense, it is certainly possible to setup a CWG@ mailing list, but then I'd want to pick the members of the CWG in a proper fashion with elections/consensus/whatever. Ideally, we'd even have some non-members in that group who have no vested interest other than seeing us all get along nicely. This is quickly turning into a rehashing of the previous discussions, so I will find a link to Ken's model later today. > > regards, > Andrew L > > regards, > Andrew > > On Sat, Apr 12, 2014 at 1:29 PM, Torrie Fischer <[email protected]>wrote: > > On Saturday, April 12, 2014 12:10:50 Becca Salchak wrote: > > > I agree that removal is inappropriate .I also think that mediation > > > > between > > > > > you ,Andy and Chris is inappropriate because Chris as your close friend, > > > whether he is biased or not, would be viewed as a biased party.
