[members-discuss] Request to put Members-discuss in moderation

Hello Andrei,

I think the point you are making is a valid one and I think others may have similar thoughts. This certainly includes myself.

Still, I think that, with regard to the Task Force, we should wait and see. For the moment, I'm convinced that we will hear a report from them (or from their chair) sooner or later, letting us know how productive (or not) their work is and how/if it is progressing.

Let's give them a little bit of time – they're still pretty new in their roles and I think we should maintain a little bit of positivity about things.


If I were in their position, I would certainly establish a Task Force Code of Conduct which requires their members to publicly talk about Task Force matters only in specific ways. For example, they might decide to publish opinions every now and then, and in this context publish an "agreed-upon opinion" plus additional diverging opinions, nicely summarized in a report which we members get.

Apart from these reports, such a Code of Conduct should require their members to remain silent and not talk publicly about Task Force matters, or else be sanctioned (as in: excluded from the Task Force). I think this way, professional behaviour can be maintained.


Could the Exec Board (or whoever may be in charge of this) please comment on this matter? That is: do you feel a Task Force Code of Conduct should be implemented? That could be interesting for members.


Thanks & best regards

  Christoph
