Other people countered that we generally trust Board members. Other people noted that the inability to get quorum when there's not explicitly a meeting is the problem we're trying to solve. * If we aren't committed to making this happen, it probably won't happen despite having it as policy (see what happened with the commitment the Board made to update all of its tickets once a month, for instance). * I raised the possibility of just keeping the procedure for making quick followup decisions as a means of putting more power into the hands of those who are working on the implementation and desire to get things done and striking the rest of the draft. ** It was mentioned that doing this in the Board ticketing system was less than ideal due to Board tickets being private by default. The idea was put forth that the ticket submitter would need to alert people to the outcome. No one had concrete ideas for changing the draft other than reducing it to only the procedure for quick followups and we decided to ponder the problem and proposed solution some more. We'd appreciate constructive discussion on this -- treat it as a strawman to start generating ideas but see if you can come up with something better/more likely to succeed. We'll be discussing this at next week's meeting (hopefully with some better ideas by then :-) -Toshio _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
