[nc-transfer] status report to the NC and resolution
Folks, in keeping with my discussion with many of you, and input from a few, I have substantially modified the resolution into a status report and recommendation to the NC to continue the task force on transfers, with a short time frame of 3 or 6 months. I am still calling it a resolution, however. I have also addressed a concern one participant raised with me that it is difficult for some constituencies to chose only one representative. I have also addressed a further concern of some that there is a slowness to name a representative by others and that is holding up progress, so to speak. I provided an opt out; should any constituency chose not to name participants, that will be noted and the TF can move forward. I hope you will discuss this in your constituencies so that we can discuss this effectively in the NC and reach agreement on how to move forward. I will get paper copies of the resolution made early tomorrow at the hotel and will have them with me in the Peninsula Room. Input electronically won't reach me unfortunately and I apologize for that. Again, I have combined the language of a status report with a recommendation action by the NC. I welcome your input and suggestions on any language changes which you believe can be supported by the majority of the NC in the discussion. Let's try to exchange ideas on modifications before the NC if we can so that we can have a productive discussion in the NC. We have been working under time pressures, and I appreciate the frustration expressed by one or two participants. Hopefully, this approach addresses those concerns. We aren't done by any means -- but if we can agree on the resolution then the TF can continue its work. I am happy to continue as chair of the TF but must count on the hard work of the participants from the Constituencies to ensure effective input, consideration, and process which reflects a balanced outcome.
