Re: Re:MC vs SC

["David Lass" <davidlass@villasunscape.com>]

Hi everyone --
Seems to me that we can fit the distinctions between SC and MC into a
standard organization chart simply by having the SC be the officers and the
MC being the Board of Directors. We can have as many officers as we need to
make up the erstwhile SC, and similarly we can have different terms on the B
of D. May make it easier for Bob McCaw to set things up, and will certainly
be more easily understand by the outside world (you wouldn't believe the
hoops I had to go through to set up the credit card account).
Just a suggestion.
David

I don't think we initially envisioned giving them voting rights.
Essentially,  I think we also saw the MC as an advisory group and a stepping
stone to the SC . The MC would provide a pool of qualified/informed people
from which to select SC members.  This process would also ensure small
changes to the way the AGA is currently run. I think we planned a  decision
making body of 5 or 7 people (always an odd no.)... too many and it can
loose its effectiveness or atleast makes it more difficult to operate. The
MC can also help involve and educate more and more general members thru  its
various subcommittees. This will create a better informed membership.
Eventually, the selection of SC members can be accomplished via a  more
democratic process. It is apparent!

think we still see that there is generally more involvement of the members
of the SC than the MC. That might be due to the individuals involved or
their perceived responsibility. Now that we are starting to think about
bilaws, I am not against rethinking the  AGA framework and making
appropriate changes.
