Re: [ubl-csc] Membership and voting

[Tim McGrath <tmcgrath@portcomm.com.au>]

my understanding of the intent of the "60 day rule" is to prevent 
stacking of committees before any voting.

i dont have a concern on that front for UBL SCs., the TC process would 
always override that anyway.

so i would favour the argument that says you can vote on SC issues prior 
to being a voting TC member.(ie no 60 days for SC membership).

this would mean, for example, someone could vote for a motion in NDR 
that affected their spec., but not vote that it become a committee spec. 
 i dont have a problem with that as long as we make that clear to members.

PS i suspect this is also easier to manage

This meant that we could add someone to the SC and have them become voting members without requiring them to be a voting member of the TC. Last year we decided that we would have all members of SCs become members of the TC.  This now means that new members of an SC need to also join the TC which means that  there is a 60 day waiting period.  However, if I understand Jon correctly, this 60 day waiting period does not apply to the SC.  So the question is - do we allow for membership in an SC to become effective before membership in the TC is.  This impacts on quorum and voting within the SC so is not trivial.  Thoughts?
