Andrew, Michael,
Up-leveling your discussion a bit.
John had suggested a comprehensive review, and I think he has a point.
Figure out what works and what doesn’t, identify problems that exist. From my
perspective, the IAOC setup and membership has been quite stable, so I’m not
sure it is a problem. Of course, if we make a change, we shouldn’t make it
unstable either, but I don’t see any such proposals on the table.
Up-leveling a bit further. This whole discussion is about the organisational
aspects. If we do John’s comprehensive review, I want everyone to remember that
there are other aspects. As an example — and I think I mentioned in some e-mail
already — the workload for the IAOC and the team (IAD etc) has increased quite
a bit recently for various reasons, and that is also something we need to
address. That specific topic is on our retreat agenda for May to talk about,
but of course we still need to assess other questions as well. Another example
is the specific ways that the IAOC goes about its business, such as meeting
selections, and are there areas where for instance better documentation would
be needed.
