Draft statement on the SC election

[Daphne Preston-Kendal]

Here’s a first draft with the points we voted on today. I also added an extra paragraph about CoC enforcement.

Minutes etc. coming very soon – since there seemed to be an appetite for discussion of details of this in particular, I wanted to get it out for comments a.s.a.p.

I should perhaps add to this: I decided to leave out the discussion of the possibility of co-option up to five members (which we mentioned, but didn’t vote for or against including). The possibility of the SC doing this exists; the previous SC used it; we could no more take away that possibility than could the Parliament of England decide to take away its own sovereignty – there is simply no higher authority to enforce such a thing.

It looks good to me, but I would like to see the section on regular status update meetings call for making public the minutes of the non-personal parts of meetings between the WG2 chair and the SC.

Thanks for the reminder. I have added this.
