[iaoa-bylaws] Notes and afterthoughts on Bylaws Committee meeting 2014.07.31 & next steps

[Frank Loebe]

Dear all,

to summarize below - please correct me, where I'm wrong - and with some
thoughts since the meeting today.

In today's meeting of Fabian, Michael, Stefano, and myself, we have agreed
on first changes in the Statute, v4 [1] (working version, opened on Jul 30),
discussed several points and added comments/replies to the Statute and the
Bylaws.

As next actions we said that we will asynchronically add further comments,
in particular und foremost commenting on the yellow changes (i.e., areas
marked yellow, from Marion's v3), possibly reaching agreement in hopefully
many cases this way. Cf. also below for the list of next actions that I
currently see, open to modification and enhancement.

For having a date, due to few working days next week and the need to
restrict my time, I myself plan to go through at least the yellow parts by
Wed, Aug 13. Around that date Marion should become available again, as well.
If we could all add our comments by then, we have another week before the
consolidating date of Aug 21 for EC meeting n.108, for re-coordination on
next steps, possibly another technical meeting before Aug 21, and some
further edits.

@Michael:
A question is how this planning relates to the Assembly announcement,
depending on the extent to which announcement (and Assembly) will address
relocation and regulations revision.


Finally, I've changed the mode of the working documents (v4, [1-2]). At
present, anyone with the links [1-2] available can read and comment on the
files. Editing is shared with Michael, Stefano and Fabian (who I had Google
addresses of). If anyone else is going to edit, please send me (or another
editor) a sharing request. (NB: I cannot respond to these between Aug 2-6.)

@Editors:
If you make changes to the text body, please pick a color that is not yet
used, label it in the legend"ary" comment at the top of each document and
COLOR YOUR EDITS with your color, please! 


Thanks and best regards,
Frank
