I understand that you want to be a member, and that many other agree, and
indeed that it would probably bring no harm to Ldraw if you were, but is it
necessary? It seems to me that this whole discussion is centred around the
issue of whether or not you in particular will be precluded from the
committee. Would it be so bad to not be a member, but still an active
participant?

I don’t see this discussion as about Tim at all, except as a test case. As
I’ve said before, he’s a handy metric. Any rule that excludes him (based on
his current employment situation) is wrong, and worse, it is in my view bad
for the organization.

I agree.

Jake put it pretty well, professional and technical organizations are rife
with potential conflicts of interest if you look hard enough to find them.
What matters are actual ones.
To ignore that and suggest that Tim is merely selfishly insisting on being
able to stand for the StC and should stand aside in order to move things
forward... is to, I feel, completely miss the point here.

I suggested nothing. I was merely asking a question. Can you just answer it
without reading motives into it that don’t exist? Is it really necessary to be a
member of the steering committee in order for suggestions on the direction of
the organisation to be heard and judged fairly? I would hope not.
That said, Jake’s post made a lot of sense (it came through just after I wrote
mine). It’s probably the most pragmatic approach presented thus far. For what
it’s worth, I have no emotional investment in the final wording one way or the
other. Like I said, I was just asking a question. I figured someone would take
it the wrong way despite my best efforts at being diplomatic, I just didn’t
think it’d be you Larry.
Cheers,
Allister
