We get that today with the current makeup. Your proposal breaks these links. Oops..I did not finish the paragraph. Retry: >> It is important for the I* chairs to be connected with the community. >> It is important for the IAOC to be connected with the community. >> It is important for the I* chairs to be informed about what is happening in the IAOC >> It is important for the IAOC to be informed about what the I* chairs find important. I claim that the first two items are independent of I* chairs being voting members of the IAOC. I also claim that for the third item there is no necessity for the I* chairs to be a voting member, nor for the fourth. That said, I am sensitive to the argument that if I* chairs are members they may actually pay more attention (human nature and such) and that being effective at those item without being a member is tough. --Olaf ________________________________________________________ Olaf M.
