I agree. This proposal in its current form solves on problem (IPMC inefficiencies) and moves another the problem (inadequate mentoring), I think the problem here is that the supporters of this proposal are diligent and committed mentors. I'm here to tell them that sometimes mentors are not as able to remain focussed in this way. We need to put a safety net in place for the podlings that find themselves lost at sea. The IPMC was created to provide that safety net. Over the years it has become so entangled it is no longer useful. We need to rebuild the safety net, not remove it completely (that doesn't necessarily mean we have to keep the IPMC) Ross I say it is needed.
