Re: [ga] Motion # 1

["todd glassey" <todd.glassey@worldnet.att.net>]

Karl - you are right about the conflict of interest for you here, but my
response to Joanna is that it also may not be fair or appropriate for anyone
at this time to take only one version of the proposed text and claim it is
***the*** motion and start a straw-poll on it to get its veracity when
people are not set on the language of the motion yet.

This is one of the problems with this and a number of the other lists that I
have spent time with, that it is essentially many fragmented voices and this
makes the value of such a 'niceified' request to be almost worthless at best
from what is essentially a disharmonized chorus, IMHO.

What needs to happen is that this WG needs to come to specific terms with
what it is trying to do... and state somewhere

    1)    The intent of the motion needs to be defined in very specific
terms (up at 200,000 feet); and

    2)    The process of how the Motion will be propagated and to whom needs
to be worked out, because what you say in the motion is specific to whom we
send it to. (this is also at 200,000); and

    3)    Itemize in the Motion the specific complaints that need to be
addressed and why (this is the 100,000 foot view); and
    4)    And then submit a formal motion, petitioning for these changes.
(and finally this is the ground zero of  the process)

No one sends anyone a letter "asking" for changes, they send petitions that
mandate something demonstrable. But they also have organizational backing
on the matter and what is here now is several different groups still
lobbying for language in the matter.
