FOR E.C.

Communications</h3><ol type="A" style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;line-height:inherit;font-size:1em"><li style="margin-left:2.5em;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0.4em;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;line-height:inherit;font-size:1em">
The Constituency shall maintain three email lists: a discussion list, an announce list, and an EC list. Only Official Representatives of Members shall be put on the announce list, and the announce list shall be used for voting purposes. Only Official Representatives and Additional Representatives of Member organizations shall have posting rights on the discuss list; participation on the discuss list shall be voluntary. The EC list is for official communications and deliberations among the Executive Committee.</li>
</ol><div><br></div><div>I would suggest that "Discuss" most appropriately matches that which we are required to do by our governing document.</div><div><br></div><div>In addition, I would formally request that once the NCUC-Discuss (or whatever it will be called) is established the EC list be restricted to elected members of the Executive Committee. I agree with this as a matter of policy and it is required by the Charter. The difficulty I had in getting people to notice the SCI nomination made it clear to me that those of us on the EC need our own work space.</div>
<div><br></div><div>As our work over the past two months appears to be under threat in other private forums not accessible to our general membership, I would like to notify my fellow E.C. members of my intent to more regularly cite and follow our Charter in our discussions. If you haven't read it recently it might be advisable to do so.</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I prefer Discuss and do not see a non-turf-strategem argument against it. It was NCUC discuss before NPOC was added and consistency in the archive would have its virtue. I am not interested in policing or (dis)couraging people from talking to each other on one list vs the other, do not believe we should preordain a hierarchy or division of labor, but also do not want to spend time fetishizing every small item into a matter of high principle that requires trench warfare. So I will roll with whatever the consensus among elected EC members is.<br>
<br>
But it would be great to do soon!<br>

Thanks<br>
