Oh, about your (Daniel's) LA-linkup resolution: I was going to post to luv-main, but I'm too tired to start a new mail message, so I'll just dump my thoughts here. I like the spirit of your motion, but I'm just worried that it's not debugged yet, and we won't be able to even do a proper code walk-through before Tuesday.
For example, how is the LA rep on the LUV committee chosen? By LUV? Or by LA?
In this proposal, all the details are of course the subject of discussion between interested parties and Member contribution will be welcome. The actual agreement if we get there will be agreed to by LA and LUV. Consistent with the spirit, I will suggest that the LA rep will be appointed by LA and up to them how they decide who that person may be.
Even though I've been particular about getting the proxies right (maybe overly so), in general I think the more things are left to informal good sense the better. Codifying can be brittle.
As I understand it, we already have at least one LA member on the LUV committee. (Right, Russell?) And all this has reminded me that I really should get around to joining LA myself.
Well I am a Member of LA myself!! And I dont claim to represent LA on the Ctte. Russell was "elected" the Ctte in his own right, not as a representative of LA. I mean by a representative, someone authorised by the LA Council to speak on its behalf and report back to it. The LA rep position will be guaranteed irrespective of the outcome of the LUV Ctte election. Of course it's entirely possible for a future the LUV Ctte to think all this is crap, but then LA will be entitled to renege on any agreement that may been in place.
I guess what I'm saying is that almost all we might want to do in collaborating with LA we can do organically, without setting up a lot of formal machinery.
Absolutely agree here. The formality is only in a one time agreement, but how that plays itself out on a day to day basis can be as formal or informal as we like.
Anyway, must sleep...
Already slept!! haha. Cheers Daniel.
