Subject: Re: [soa-rm-ra] Definition of Governance
It would be interesting to evaluate governance success vs. how clear and accurate the statement was of governance goals, but I believe that is out of scope :-). My past standards associate, Carl Cargill, noted that standards development has a very long and dishonorable history. (Carl has been at this much longer than I and also has a very well honed sense of cynicism.) Per Carl, the intent of participants is always to see if they can control the agenda to their benefit, they compromise when getting some of what they want is better than nothing, and they often create new standards organizations when they can't sufficiently control the existing ones. Those are the explicit goals and processes of most participants in economic ecosystems. The problem with comparison to the US Constitution is we rarely have a collection of people of that caliber whose goal is the public good and not primarily their own. Our governance model needs to cover both. Ken On Sep 10, 2007, at 4:18 PM, Ellinger, Robert wrote:
