RE: [soac-mapo] Please participate - Poll on updated recommendations

Robin,

 

I don't understand why you are suggesting that the out-sourcing issue is
being reopened.  You seem to be assuming more was resolved that I have
observed.  I have not seen any consensus view on outsourcing except that
there seems to be strong support for using third party experts.  And
there certainly has not been consensus on whether the experts should
give advice or recommendations although there does seem to be support
for that.  So what are you thinking is being reopened?

 

I do agree that there has been consensus that the Board makes the final
decision but having the experts give advice or make a recommendation for
Board consideration does not change that.

 

There shortly will be another Doodle Poll to determine levels of support
for various issues that we have been discussing related to these.

 

Chuck

I would definitely not want to change this wording to having the panel
"recommend acceptance or rejection of any particular string." 

 

The panel should provide its expertise and advice on the situation, but
a recommendation to reject a string is a decision that belongs to the
board alone.   

 

Let's not re-open this issue of out-sourcing so close to finalizing
these recs.   Especially since this would be a material change of
concern to a number of us in the community.

 

Thanks,

Robin

I agree with Chuck's one concern.  Other than that one sentence, I am
very comfortable with Evan's high level formulation.  I fear that Mary's
well thought out suggestion is too rich with implementation details
causing disagreements on issues that we need not address.



If it will accelerate achieving consensus, I'm perfectly happy with the
elimination of the last sentence of my 4.3, or changing it to

"They will advise on applicability, and may recommend acceptance or
rejection of any particular string."


I'll leave it to Chuck's discretion whether to change the formulation
for presentation to the poll.
