[members-discuss] Sustainability and diversity

Kurtis

Providing input to the plan is one thing, but voting on it sounds like micromanagement

How would a vote work?

All or nothing?

Line by line?

I just don’t see how that would work or be of any real benefit.

Regards

Michele

[EXTERNAL EMAIL] Please use caution when opening attachments from unrecognised sources.
Not to quibble but I think we need to be a bit more precise. The members have not formally accepted the activity plan, the Executive Board have. The members where provided the chance to give input on the activity plan.

While this might not seem like a major difference, I think part of the problem is exactly this. Perhaps the members SHOULD vote on the activity plan? At least the members might read it then…..

Best Regards,

This has been repeated for the n-th time already.

EB can't put an option of a lower budget (and members fee) on the agenda
as they need to follow the (accepted by RIPE NCC members) activity plan
and assure the budget for it. Period. At this point lower budget is not
possible.

You are all barking at the wrong tree. When the activity plan comes into
a discussion at (and prior to the GM) - that's the time to start
proposing changes if you really want them.

Cheers, Jan
