hi Avri, the DSSA brought this report to the Council a while back (time doesn't permit figuring out exactly when). the report was caught in the usual logjam of crisis stuff and was given a very brief acknowledgement at that time. i would love an extensive discussion in the community and on this list. the part you're quoting though isn't from the report -- that's based on the letter of submission from us co-chairs to our respective Councils (which we should have linked to this motion -- but didn't, so i've attached it to this note). in that letter, we co-chairs are pretty emphatic that the "go ahead with Phase II" option is a bad idea, and that sentence is part of our justification as to why we think that way. sorry for soo terse. hope this helps. happy to discuss on the call mikey On Dec 12, 2013, at 7:38 AM, Avri Doria <avri@ella.com> wrote:

Hi,

Please forgive me for coming late to this topic.

Just reading the report now, and am wondering about:

- have these results been extensively presented to the community and discussed with them? (I confessed I missed it). - what provisions are being made on the remaining issues as reported in the report?

Specifically: " The DSSA believes that if the Phase 2 effort should be undertaken under an updated charter, and by a new group of volunteers with additional expertise should lead that effort. These volunteers will need to be aware that Phase 2 will take a considerable effort to conclude (both in intensity and duration of the work "

If I missed the discussions on the mailing list, phrase point me to the correct archive.

Or is this something that will be discussed at some other time? What other time?

Thanks ~~~ avri

my apologies for not noticing this sooner, but i have made some very minor changes to the DSSA motion. i did not proofread my own motion before sending it along and a couple of things needed to be changed from the ccNSO motion that i used as a basis for ours.

i've attached a redline for your review and am looking for guidance as to the correct way to introduce these changes.

i do not believe any of these chances are substantive.

thanks,

mikey
