Points well taken, although maybe you and others shouldn't resend past
messages in the thread you respond to, as it only makes it harder for
everyone to keep up. Briefly summarizing previous messages if necessary
is standard Netiquette. Come to think of it, more than other
organizations, Netiquette is important to our very organizational
procedures.
I'd like to not think that the organization will be difficult to change,
like traditional organizations that need in-person assemblies. The
Constitution should be very general and able to serve into the
foreseeable future, where we express our inclusiveness of fields covered
and of the aspirations of members. Then the Bylaws fleshing out
committees and so forth should be easier to change than the
Constitution.
Thanks nonetheless for your contributions.
Incidentally, I think we agree on being a kind of global .org
basically, but what would that mean in Constitutional and operational
terms?
