[governance] Phase 2 of improvements to the IGC Web site

[Don Cameron]

Sorry Jeremy I don't understand - the Charter very clearly states: "The
members of the IGC are individuals, acting in personal capacity, who
subscribe to the charter of the caucus. All members are equal and have the
same rights and duties". This is a statement of fact.

 

The fact the Charter further states: "In amending the charter, everyone who
voted in the previous election will be deemed a member for amending the
charter" does not in any way negate the hierarchically superior membership
criteria outlined above. All it does is set parameters for who can vote on a
change to the Charter.

 

How do you interpret this? - It sounds like the membership list needs
correcting.

This certainly impacts on the right to vote for charter modifications,
however it otherwise has no impact on membership.

 

Well, so some say, but others (including myself) interpret it otherwise.
The current membership list is on the basis of those who voted in the last
election.  If we want to clarify this, we need to amend the charter.

 

In other news, I have properly fixed the LDAP errors that were preventing
people from editing their profiles to add extra optional profile information
(such as addresses and phone numbers), after they had registered.  Sorry
about that.
