Re: [IAEP] Motions to create position of Translation-Community Manager

Hi, James My apologies. I am new to this and have made a lot of mistakes. However, I don't believe it is fair to accuse me of 'hiding' anything. As you know following my first meeting in February, I posted a conglomeration of the ideas thrown out as to the position

Re: [IAEP] [SLOBS] Motions to create position of Translation-Community Manager

Hi Tony, I might not have been clear. I'm talking about giving a chance to the community members to apply for the "job". I can tell many members of the board already have a candidate in mind, still, in my humble opinion, an opportunity should be given to all community members to apply. Cheers,

Re: [IAEP] Motions to create position of Translation-Community Manager

HI, Sebastian The problem is mine. I should have locked the page at the time the motions were made. The issue is simply procedural, the motion was to approve the job as described on the page. Like Clinton, using a wiki page was a convenience to avoid having to copy it in the motion. Tony

Re: [IAEP] Motions to create position of Translation-Community Manager

My point is that the motion was based on the wording of the document at the time it was made. Amendments after the motion is made are really out of order. Luckily, the Wiki technology lets readers see the document as it was at the time of the motion. Naturally, the intent is that the TCM will

Re: [IAEP] Motions to create position of Translation-Community Manager

I'm not sure the translation team wants to be led in that way, and I'd not like to lose volunteers. We have so few. The hiding of SLOBs deliberations once they move to their private mailing list caused this situation; Wiki technology is a bad match for decision making bodies unless clear

as a former SLOB, I could say that in the past this was because some matters involving OLPC, or embargoed press information, or a partnership with a third party, required confidentiality. Perhaps today's SLOBs have a different point of view Sean On Wed, Apr 6, 2016 at 2:45 PM, Dave Crossland

Congratulations Chris Leonard, Tony Anderson & All for making this happen: unleashing translation community+infra+results along a road that will have its bumps for a reason -- so remote kids who have NO opportunities for education beyond their mother tongue can at last be taken seriously. Final

Tony, What would be in place to explain, is why atfer the creation of the position (first motion) SLOBs are not openly requiring proposals from all community members and /or any interested party that might be adequate or experienced to execute the required functions. In my opinion public email
