SUO: Draft motion
Title:
SUO Members,
Here is a first draft of a motion to accept all contributions without according
any a privileged position and without requiring a vote. When one or more
documents appear to have developed a large majority of support, then a vote
should be held to determine/confirm the consensus.
RESOLVED: It shall be the policy of the SUO Working Group (P1600.1)
to accept all documents contributed by members as contributions that may
be used in developing a standard for an upper level ontology. All such contributions
shall enjoy an equal status (currently called "Starter Documents") with all
other contributions that are made to the Working Group. No vote is required
or appropriate to accept such contributions or to grant them equal status.
No other indication of additional status or privilege shall be accorded
any contribution unless there is a consensus of 75% of the voting members
that such status should be granted.
We should probably define "Starter Document" (or whatever we decide to call
it) . I suggest something like "those documents contributed by members who
believe they may be useful in developing a standard for an upper level ontology".
This is a draft - all comments are welcome. So are co-sponsors.
Bob
