[CIMC-work] a half-week's worth of positions...

[Chris Kaihatsu]

Okay, everyone, I know I asked for topics to be in separate emails, but here
I go violating my own request. I'm catching up. Hope it's not too
bothersome....


- Individual editorial passwords are okay by me.

- I'll make sure to always sign off as "Chris K." and to note that I am only
representing myself if I post non-CIMC-consensed emails to global lists.

- I've been in favor of formalization, within the boundaries of
CIMC-participant-based trust, since the beginning. I support Chris G.'s
"admin guide" suggestion, and Garth's call for minimal meeting attendance,
and Emily's call for a CIMC institutional history and introductory folder.

- I do not support the idea of having a moderated queue -- that is, where at
least one CIMC editor would have to look at and approve a submitted post
before it is listed on the newswire. It is preferable to have enough
volunteers to be able to have 24/7 monitoring of the newswire so that posts
may be quickly hidden if they violate our editorial policy.

- I support Chris G.'s idea of having volunteers as "auxiliary admins," if
they wish to do so.

- Garth, I accept your apology regarding my role as liaison, but I can't
help but wonder if it isn't 100%. You follow it up by saying we can "talk
about [my] role and how we can make it work." This implies that you have
some problems with the way I do my liaison work for this CIMC list. If you
have something to say, say it. Allow me to address your specific concerns.

- Rita, your copy to volunteers looks very good -- it's clean, informative,
and succinct.

- I will be addressing Tom W.'s suggested group-editorial model and others'
comments on it, soon.

- And, I will be addressing other CIMCers' expressed issues, soon.
