What is the difference between a special right and a special duty? What if other members of ICANNatlarge.com decide they have a duty to share something? Should they be able to spam the membership? Who decides?At 01:13 p.m. 31/07/2002 -0400, James Love wrote:Joop,
1. do you have some special right to mail directly to the membership that no one else has?
Not a special right, a special duty, now there is nobody else to make this necessary posting. Do you have an issue with the content?
An updated Icannatlarge announce list to which the Chair of the new Panel will get the key. The new webmaster will have to keep this list updated.I don't think it is your job to create new announce lists for icannatlarge, even if you think you have something important to share.
What exactly do you mean by back room deals? Don't be so coy if you have something to say, particularly in a message addressed to me.3. Do you intent to choose your own replacement, or will you allow the elected panel to do this?
The elected Panel must bear the responsibility , or they can let the whole membership endorse their choice.
Please note that I am asking volunteers to publicly post their application so that there will be no back room deals. Is that perhaps what upsets you and Sotiris?
With regards to my involvement in the handover: I think friendly cooperation between the out-going and incoming webmaster and a smooth transition is in the icannatlarge's best interest.I'm sure that letting the elected panel do this is in the best interest of building something that is based upon democracy. VB has not done much in terms of running the voting process, so he has to share the blame in not nailing down the official requests for you to do things, but it really should not take so much effort for such basic stuff.
