Subject: RE: [ws-tx] Avoiding motions on text drafted during telcons
I concur. It is important to balance the
requirements for a standard vs. ensuring the quality of the standard. The
output of this TC will be scrutinized by our peers worldwide and I for one want
to ensure we strive for technical excellence. Duane Nickull ******************************* From: Colleen Evans
[mailto:coevans@microsoft.com] I strongly suggest that we avoid making hasty motions to
accept language proposed in the same meeting in cases where such proposals
represent a substantive change to previous proposals or to the original spec
text. Several times on today’s call substantively changed
text was proposed on the fly and potential motions were discussed to accept the
text on the call. IMO this is a dangerous way to proceed. I propose
we recap all substantive proposed text in email, giving members time to consider
it in the context of the spec, and delay voting on its acceptance or rejection
until the following meeting. If the changes are minor, such as the resolution we
ultimately approved for issue 12 which included a combination of previously
proposed text and a very slight modification to the original text, it may be
appropriate to craft the text and consider a motion in the same meeting. Colleen |
