Legal drafting committee list

[Eran Hammer-Lahav]

The board passed clear rules about how and when people should be allowed to join the drafting list. These rules have clearly been violated over the past couple of days by allowing people to join the list before the 10 days period was over. These rules were carefully crafted and I expect them to be fully observed.

In addition, conducting actual drafting work without the presence of any acceptable subset of the committee is counterproductive at best. I am as eager to get back to work but 10 days are not going to make a difference.

I would like to ask the interim chairs to comply with the board's decision and enforce our rules properly.

Eran,

Please chill out.

FWIW, I had exactly the same question/reaction that Eran did.

DeWitt and Eran and rest of board,

And so did David Rudin when he wrote to me about it two days ago, and so did I as I realized what I was doing by "managing" the new Google group. I don't object to the slap on the wrists. Only to the tone of Eran's email. David handled my mistake by simply reminding me of the meaning of the 10-day rule. He didn't see the need to get officious about it. Neither should Eran.

 

I'm a peer. There is no place for "I expect" language in notes to each other. Please resist that tone in the future..

 

As for making sure that the drafting subcommittee avoids further discussions on issues for at least 10 days, I intended to do that today before you saw fit to remind me to inform a committee for which I am currently responsible about a rule that we all agreed to. Thank you for  your concern. Now can we join David Rudin in a two-week Thanksgiving vacation and wait patiently for self-nominations to arrive and for things to settle into place?

 

Happy holidays,
