I think I agree. Notifying the group at a meeting before going
forward
is probably a good thing as there are some people who do not subscribe
to the mailing lists.
I am disinclined to put further discussion about this on the main
mailing list. Anyone who is on the list and cares should have
followed
the discussion to -steer as we pointed out.
However, the longer I think about it, the less inclined I am to put it
to an official vote at a meeting. I think I would rather let the
reaction to the proposal guide our actions rather than a vote.
An official vote could have polarizing ramifications when we could
probably address any truly major objections in a much more
accommodating
fashion.
I'm also disinclined to put it to a vote. It would be
counterproductive at this time. I just checked, and there are 47
subscribers to this list. That is more than generally show up for
meetings.
If no one else wishes to, I would be willing to write the steering
committee report/recommendation. Even though I had been lobbying for
lower-end goods, I would certainly report the general consensus, and
that there is no significant dissent.
That would probably be a good thing.
I have no objection. It probably would be a good thing to summarize
the discussion and reasoning for our choice. Perhaps you should post
it here for review and comment, before posting it to the main list.If
I forget, remind me at the next meeting. I will make an announcement.
Perhaps some short mention on the front of the web site, would be
appropriate, when we get closer to having the server in place.
I would suggest that the function of this steering list be advertised on
the general list(s?), as well as at the meetings.
