Several people have asked that we track the issues relating to the MASS
charter. The list below lists the issues that I have been able to find
from going through the mailing list archives. Each item is listed with
the email address of the first person (I think) who raised the issue,
along with the date/time of the message to enable you to locate it.
Dates/times are US/Pacific. All items are open except for a few marked
(Incorporated) which have been edited into the current version of the
charter at http://mipassoc.org/mass/mass-charter-05dc.txt
Determining what's a new issue isn't always black and white -- sometimes
it's hard to distinguish discussion on a particular point from a new
proposal. So if I have left anything out, please let me know and I'll
add it. Similarly, if you have an item that is listed here that is
really just a comment on some other item, let me know and I'll remove it.
Please use this thread to comment on the list itself (omissions, etc.)
but not charter issues themselves; I'll start individual threads on the
open issues so that we can keep the discussion straight.
