Any significant issues should (IMO) be taken to membership for a vote as well. I believe this qualifies; there is ongoing debate on how much gets decided by board, how much by membership, and how much by other bodies. -- **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** * Dr Nick Nicholas, Linguistics/French & Italian nickn@unimelb.edu.au * University of Melbourne, Australia http://www.opoudjis.net * "Eschewing obfuscatory verbosity of locutional rendering, the * circumscriptional appelations are excised." --- W.
