No one else is commenting so I will speak up. 1) If the motion passes, we will need someone to serve as initial chairman, Do you, or does anyone in the membership, have a particular candidate in mind. In the past the byfy has more or less been defined by the jatna. The new idea this time around seems to be that the BPFK as a whole will decide on its procedures, while the jatna is primarily a communicator or coordinator. But I think that reality will still be that the jatna will run things and it is hard to imagine how the BPFK will work without considering the style of leadership that the jatna will have. 2) What are the qualifications for membership in the BPFK, (and disqualifications, if any, that would cause someone to be removed)? What if any commitments are we asking of members (possibly in the form of x hours of work for the committee over y interval)? Depending on the qualifications, how is the initial membership of BPFK established (since the BPFK will determine its own procedures, this again will likely be defining of the nature of the BPFK)? _______________________________________________ Llg-members mailing list Llg-members@lojban.org http://mail.lojban.org/mailman/listinfo/llg-members
