Subject: [council] Board Chair comments on Council Workload & Prioritisation


At the CSG Breakfast Peter made the point that if there is an issue in regards 
workload or prioritisation, it is for the Council to address this matter.

This would suggest that we are responsible not to overload our workload, deal 
with requests in a mature, responsible and measured manner.  It seems that if 
we choose speed and meeting deadlines (at times) over getting the right outcome 
we are going to be responsible for this in the eyes of the Board and the 
community.

Therefore, it seems that the Council should not shy away from stating that a 
time line (set by Board or any other entity) cannot be met or that we will have 
to take time we decide in our responsible opinion and that matters should wait 
until we get it right and not compromise quality over speed.  I especially note 
this in light of deadlines, at times, being used as leverage during 
negotiations to push parties to compromise.
