OK...

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

Yesterday was a slow day at work, so I took an hour or so and went through
all mail on the MC and SC since January 1st, and tried to identify all the
issues we've brought up in the forum but may have not resolved.  I have
included relevant snippets or links for some of the topics.  Something
like 80-90% of the discussions have fizzled out, so I've marked them as
"tabled".

Hopefully this will mutate into some standardized form I alluded to
yesterday that can go on a web page.  For now I'll work off this text
file.

The practical upshot of this is that the two main open issues STILL are
getting the bylaws done, and making a decision on the Management
Committee's role.  It's interesting that the steering committee now has 6
members, and the management committee has 8.

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."

                "I have only been selling T-shirts and pins when I go to events 
or
                speaking engagements. I have sold a couple by mail but I would 
gladly turn
                them over if someone would like to take over. I have enjoyed 
selling them
                but as Karen says you have to pack them along." - Dorothy
