Right. The proposal is set up in such a way to encourage everyone -
programmer or not - to discuss the issues publicly. When it comes to making
decisions, a limited group of qualified people (in this case, programmers,
parts authors, or reviewers) to actually cast the vote to create an
LDraw.org standard. Naturally, the LSC members would be expected and
encouraged to participate in the public discussion, but they're the ones who
make the decision.

right.  I was saying that the LSC needs to be qualified (as Orion
pointed out), AND that the LSC needs more representation from the
programmers.  Currently, as far as I can tell, it has (from the stats I
could gather):

Jacob:  parts author, reviewer(14 reviews in last 3 updates)
Steve:  parts author, reviewer(185 reviews in last 3 updates)
Tim:    reviewer(0 reviews in last 2 updates)
Terry:
Larry:  reviewer(32 reviews in last 3 updates)

I know Steve and Jacob have written software...  I guess I'm asking how
were these names selected?

I suppose whether the LSC private list is publicly viewable or not is
something else up for debate - on one hand, transparency is a good thing, on
the other, it would be nice for them to have a forum where they don't have
to be politically correct.

I've asked you before - what do you mean by transparency?  I think since
the LSC is a public body, it's discussions should be public.  Why, I'm
sure Todd would be happy to set up a newsgroup here on LUGNET for those
discussions, and have only members of the committee able to post there.

But any mailing list that people could read it's archives would work.
Easy to set up too - a list that everyone can read, but only few can
post.  Can have it autopost mails to a group on lugnet for easy reading -
that way it'd be easy for everyone to read, but we're not requireing people
to be lugnet members to post.

(...) Hi Dan, (...) Unless I mis-read something, I think this initial group of 5 is the (parent organization) LDraw.org's leadership doing double duty as the initial Ldraw.org Stnadards Comitee for the sole purpose of setting up how the Standards (...) (21 years ago, 22-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I think you're misunderstanding, perhaps I wasn't clear enough in the proposal. The leaders who set up the LSC are only setting it up, they aren't the initial members of the LSC.

(...) Dan, there seems to be some confusion here on your part. Hopefully other posters have cleared it up for you, but I want to go on record here on what the vision was. If it wasn't clear from the proposal, that's at least partly my fault since I (...) (21 years ago, 23-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
