Mat -
The wording I have a problem with is as follows:
"WG election procedures shall be defined within the WG P&P. Prior to their
establishment, election procedures must be reviewed and approved by the EC
before implementation."
The first sentence mandates the existence of a WG P&P document; otherwise,
the "shall" cannot be complied with.
Yes, at some point, the SA will sick some set of model WG P&P on us;
however, forcing all 802 WGs to establish P&P ahead of time, with the
likelihood that the SA actions will cause us to re-work them later on,
seems to be a gratuitous waste of all our time.
Also, I see absolutely no rational reason why we should have N differently
worded sets of election procedures for officer positions, so I can see no
reason why this issue shouldn't be resolved by adding WG election
procedures to the 802 P&P.
My proposal is, therefore:
1) That both sentences in the above quoted text is removed from the
existing P&P rules change; and
2) A separate rules change be initiated (which I am happy to do if you
wish) to add WG officer election procedures to the 802 P&P.
If either of those sentences stay in, I will vote against this change.

Tony
