[arg_discuss] ARG SIG Draft Constitution

[Andrea Phillips]

Hello, friends and SIG members,

Given Adam's decision to step down from the SIG leadership, I feel
like it's time that we formalize the leadership and governing
principles of the SIG a little better. For one thing, I'd really like
for everybody feel like they have a stake in how the SIG is run and
what its fate is; and if we have more hands on deck, maybe the trains
will run on time around here. (Mea culpa!). (And forgive my mixed
metaphors.)

That said, I've cribbed heavily from the Writers SIG and drafted an
ARG SIG Constitution:

I figure we should take about two weeks to look at it and respond;
based on feedback I (or you!) can make revisions to this Constitution,
and then I'll find a way to set up a poll for us to vote on it
anonymously to ratify. This may actually require a lot of discussion;
for one thing, the Writers SIG is a lot bigger and more vocal than
ours, so we might want only a single Executive (I already made the
minimum goal Committee size smaller).

I also plan to set up a chat session on the topic in about a week's
time -- but I'm not sure what would be the most convenient day and
time for the majority of SIG participants. If you've got anything to
say on that, please speak up.

Annnnnd have a lovely weekend, everybody. :)
