Now... where were we :)
Hi Folks,
Just wanted to let everyone know what's been going on in the steering
committee lately. Bob's bowed out as the steering committee chair, so
I have volunteered to take it on in a "rent-to-own" capacity for a few
months. Bob will remain in name during this time. If everything works
out, I will take on the title officially. (As I mentioned on the SC, it
is unfortunate that this happened at the same time as my scanner toys
arrived, because I was in the middle of starting the TAG archive project
when this happened).
What I'd like to do in this position is just keep everyone on track of the
currently-open issues on both the MC and SC. To this end, I'm going to be
trying to track all open issues in a file which I'll periodically post
here, and possibly mutate into something on the private web site.
To summarize this large list, the current "hot" items are
* Resolution of the SC/MC relationship. We need to decide once and for
all if the MC is an advisory or voting board. It was formed initially as
an advisory board, but somewhere along the line people on the MC just
started voting on things. So LET'S DISCUSS, and then the SC (!) can
formally vote on this. Presumably this will also be incorporated into...
* The Incorporation/bylaws! Mary, can you ask Bob what we need to do?
(see the links in the full-blown list below for all discussion to date)
* Convention details needed for the website. Charlene, how is this
progressing?
* Neil also would like to know if we're planning on advertising the
convention in magazines.
OK, that's it. Here's the full-blown list (remember that if you click on
the links to archived messages, you'll need to enter username/password,
which gets appended to every message here ad nauseum):

MANAGEMENT
Does MC vote on issues? Entire
SC Discussion
"Up until the TAG vote, the SC has made all the "major"
decisions regarding
the AGA. The MC has been more advisory in capacity, as well
as, in theory,
running various committees. I'm not saying that another model
might not be
better, just that this is how it has been done up until now.
But I think
we ALL agree that AGA could stand with some new ways of doing
business. I
don't have any problem with changing things, but I think we
should make
some decisions on how we think things _should_ be done, and get
it written
down in some fashion so that we don't have to reinvent the
wheel every time
a decision, particularly a contentious one, needs to be made."
