[NCSG-PC] Proposed comments on BGC Changes - new link

[Edward Morris]

Hi,
  
 Thanks to those who have worked on this comment. The revisions have 
addressed my principle concerns and if folks want to go forward with this 
I'm happy to endorse.
  
 That said, I do believe the Board should have waited until all of the new 
accountability mechanisms were operational before proposing any changes to 
how they processed them. A look at the number of reconsideration requests 
filed yields the following data:
  
 2013 -23 requests
 2014- 46 requests
 2015- 15 requests
 2016- 14 requests
 2017 (4 months) - 1 request
  
 In the 6 months since the new Bylaws went into effect there have been 2 
reconsideration requests.
  
 Although I'm not sure the change is needed, and personally believe that 
the way the accountability mechanisms are designed reconsideration will be 
a sadly underutilized mechanism going forward, I do think the community 
should give the Board great leeway in designing its operations. If the 
Board wants to do things this way, I see no major negative impact to the 
community going forward so we should allow it to proceed. Indeed, given the 
poor success rate for complainants under the current rules, changing 
committee composition and structure can only help.
  
 Ed
