<div>Sure, that's a good idea. Let's do that. It was meant
that this discussion and revision to the processes would be
ongoing on the wiki, but that has been hampered by website
issues, which I'm still working on. In the meantime until the
wiki is more usable, we could as easily create another working
group for revision to the processes. Whoever is interested to
be on such a working group, in addition to the interim
steering committee members, please let me know and we can set
that up.</div>

I see absolutely no harm made to our substantive work, that is
needed at this critical juncture, by referring the names we have to
IGC process of MAG nominee selection rather than do it through an
unapproved process by BB steering committee. This is taking up of
unauthorised powers by the steering committee , and I would not be
a party to it. <br>

<br>
Neither a chorus of support for steering committee doing the
selections ot reps, nominees etc on behalf of BB membership... As
said it has to be express and not implied approval of the membership
of BB...<br>

<br>
Which means nothing per any kind of assent by BB membership (a
concept that you have conveniently evaporated) to processes of
nominee/ rep selection being done by steering commitee of BB . Are
you going to take the self decided mandate to 'keep working in
loosely institutionalised process' to do whatever hits your or
steering committee's fancy? That would be such a travesty! <br>

<br>
Meaning, you are going ahead with the process of selection of MAG
nominees by the steering committee, are you? <br>
