Hmm. An automated summary weekly of open proposals might be nice I guess if that's possible. That might be a lot of work, however... Manoj, could you repost the official guidelines for Policy Updates? > I'll follow the dictum of this group and upload the amended > version sometime this week, and then retitle the bugs as ACCEPTED. I guess that's ok with me. As for Bug #25911, I show the issue was officially raised as a proposal on 14 September, was seconded "carte blance" by Joseph Carter that day (not in BTS), was amended 14 September by Zed in response to Richard Braakman's comments. Like I said, I need to re-examine the Policy Updates guidelines. I suspect that it might be a good thing for the Policy Editors to get a whole lot more anal about policy change proposals, and making sure that the letter of the law is followed. Otherwise I think we're asking for trouble. Again, I think all of Zed's proposed changes have merit and should be incorporated (still feel edgy about 25911), but procedure here was *very* sloppy... I'd be happier if Policy Editors were being more militant and denying change proposals which don't follow the process we outlined. Not trying to be bureaucratic, just trying to give the system a real, proper go of it.... .....A. P. [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
