RE: [atlarge-discuss] LET'S GET GOING: Determining a Chair for the Panel
just a few things:
1. when are we expecting to hear from the watchdogs?
2. until we hear from the watchdogs, please consider everything i say as the views of a member of the organization. i certainly don't want to assume that i am already a member of the panel.
3. i am in favor of a quorum of 8 for the panel, which is actually at least two thirds of 11. i assume that quorum is determined by the no. of panel members voting on an issue within a definite period of time.
4. i agree with the proposal of submitting the names of panel members who fail to vote in 3 voting periods successively, or who fail to vote in 75% of all votes conducted so far, to a vote of confidence by the general membership. those who get a lost-confidence vote should be replaced by those persons who garnered the next number of votes.
5. i believe chairmanship of the panel means merely the duty and/or right to preside. the panel members may elect one or rotate it among themselves. a panel member should, however, be free to decline such responsibility.
6. the chairman (at least) of the membership committee should be elected by the general membership. i object to the idea of people just appropriating chairmanship of committees to themselves. i also agree that they should not come from the panel.
in addition, i want to stress that aside from verifying the identities of members, the membership committee should also be tasked to recruit more members especially from under-represented parts of the world like asia, africa and latin america.
7. we should use icannatlarge.org in everything we do (website, mailing list, ftp, etc.) unless there is a valid reason not to.

"Plan for what is difficult while it is easy, do what is great while it is small. The most difficult things in the world must be done while they are still easy, the greatest things in the world must be done while they are still small. For this reason sages never do what is great, and this is why they can achieve that greatness." - Attributed by Sun Tzu to warriors of ancient times.
