FIG members, We have a conflict, and I think it is time we fixed it. In particular I'm speaking about the bylaws governing secretary eligibility. ( http://www.php-fig.org/bylaws/membership/#eligibility-criteria)
The oversight we are guilty of is that while a secretary cannot be an editor of a PSR in draft phase, I think the stipulation should be broader than that. The secretary role is a very important and time consuming position, not to mention the secretary must remain non-biased to properly aid the FIG members. This would include anything related bylaws, PSRs, and/or other actions being carried out by the FIG. Not only could these things distract a secretary from their given duties, but it hurts the FIG preventing a secretary of non-bias. I have heard some comments related to, "This is why we have 3 secretaries." But I would contest this is not the case, but has been twisted. The reason we have 3 is to help pick up the pieces if one has problems that were unplanned. NOT to selectively decide what one of the 3 secretaries would or would not be a part of, and therefore able to hand things off to the others. By allowing secretaries to stray from their given task and randomly decide bias, it hurts the FIG and prevents the secretaries from doing what they were voted on to do. Therefore I am calling that we enhance the eligibility criteria to eliminate this bias and confusion of duties in the secretary role.
