Bill,

If by "my point of view" you mean my views on whether a policy should
or shouldn't pass, this very discussion gives the lie to such a
notion. I think the proposed AS transfer policy is A-OK and would like
to see it or a comparable proposal become policy. And I have said so.
Yet I argue against the last call on the grounds that too much dissent
remains.

If by "my point of view" you mean my views on the lengths to which an
AC member should enthusiastically go to draw dissenters into a
consensus before sending a policy draft to the board, you're darn
right I consider it a qualification for being on the AC. And by that
standard too few of you are well qualified.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
