John (and
all)
We discussed
the approval procedures on the call prior to your joining. There was
resistance to change, but I think we have some obligation to abide by the rules
of the mother organization.
I recommended
that we should use the ballot procedure just recently provided by OASIS in
KAVI to record approval of policy and discontinue the casual use of eMail,
particularly an by eMail that says if you don't respond we will adopt this. This
a flawed procedure that could allow a miniscule group of people to approve a
Court standard.
Several
reasons: We need to test it. While this should not lower our
expectations of consensus, it will provide a demonstration that official
committee members cast actual ballots. This is a substantial evidence that the
policy was seen by the committee and adopted by at least the consensus of a
quorum. I am still PO'd that we were referred to as a "Gang" on the floor
of the the ABA House of Delegates. Acting like a properly constituted
standards body that is part of a global organization will give us more
credibility with the Justice Community too.
I would like
to place this notion on the agenda of the Steering
Committee.
