Re: The TRAC reconsidered

["Lauren Wood" <lauren@sqwest.bc.ca>]

I think I'm the person on this PAC who cares the least about 
process, somehow, or at least cares the least about whether 
things are legally constituted at this stage. I'd rather put energies 
into figuring out how we want things to work. For better or worse, 
the OASIS system has managed to produce specs that have been 
implemented, even if the "committees" which produced those 
specs worked on the "lots of lurkers and people worked when they 
could" principle. So I don't see the big harm in leaving the current 
structure as an interim solution, since the new structure should be 
in place within 8 months.

OTOH, I can also see the point to Solution 3 - trying to get some 
structure in there, as long as it doesn't impose too much of a 
burden on the chairs, or make people feel in any way that their 
work up till now has not been appreciated.

I don't like solution 2 - it seems to take a lot of time and effort for 
what seems to be little benefit, and the danger is that the interim 
will become permanent because we put too much energy into that 
instead of what we really want in the end.
