Subject: Re: re voting
My 2 cents on the voting issues (without the full quotes - context is nice, but so is brevity: Re: >| | A TC may adopt a standing rule authorizing its chair to word >| | resolutions, to put such resolutions to the members of the TC >| | by mail, and to conduct votes on such resolutions by mail. I think this makes sense. This is basically letting the TC decide if they will allow an essential function to occur by mail; if they say yes, then let them do it. Re the length of the time period for votes: I suggest that we require some substantial % of the committee agree to the time period, what ever it is, and then let them set it. If they're doing something they feel under time pressure on and they are willing to live with the results, let them set a 12 hour limit. If they're working at about the pace this committee is, they'll probably agree on something closer to 5 days. If they're all graduates of the ISO school of decision-making they may choose 3 months. It seems to me that the rules should say that they have to set a time, and it seems reasonable that this shouldn't either change often nor at the whim of the chair, but it doesn't seem to me that we can say waht will be "fair" for a group of people we don't know. -- Tommie ====================================================================== B.
