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 think not, but I look to the steering committee to do a lot more than
make (or hear) suggestions. Its a deliberative body but also it needs to be
a decision making body.
|
I see. I wasnt clear on what role the LSC has. Ive gone back over the posts
dealing with that subject and understand it better now. Nevertheless, I still
think it was a valid question.
|
|
That said, Jakes post made a lot of sense (it came through just after I
wrote mine). Its probably the most pragmatic approach presented thus far.
For what its 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 didnt think itd be you Larry.
|
Well if you didnt think it would be taken the right way by some of the
audience, in advance, then maybe it did need a little more rewording,
wouldnt you agree?
|
Not really. Its less to do with the way I worded it, and I did try to avoid
this, and more to do with the nature of online forums and the participants
thereof. Given the lack of emotional clues in a text only environment, there is
a tendency to assume certain nonverbal content when it may not exist, or be
entirely different from that which is assumed. I realise this happens no matter
how carefully or diplomatically a post is worded, so I chose to give the benfit
of the doubt and deal with any misinterpretations if they arise.

Ill go back to what I challenged Dan with... if you want a blanket ban on
LEGO employees (and not on any other employees of any other entity) show that
all LEGO employees automatically have a conflict of interest so large as to
be irreconcilable, and that no employees of *any* other entity have any other
conflict of interest. (1)
Frankly, Id vote FOR a LEGO exec (even with apparent huge conflicts of
interest) before Id vote FOR a MB exec who was at a corresponding level
within MB. Or MS, or Intel, or etc... Not that Id actually vote for either
a LEGO or MB exec, thats just making the point.
Else I think we should go with whats been suggested by Wayne, by Jake, by
others and by myself. Full disclosure of interests, then make it a campaign
issue.
|
Like I said, Im not that heavily invested one way or the other, but this seems
to be the most pragmatic approach.
|
I also design and sell custom kits. Im a heavy user of LDraw tools for that.
Does that mean I have a conflict of interest? Improvements in LDraw might
give me the ability to design sets more efficiently. I would say, yes, I do
have such a conflict of interest. But its a GOOD conflict, because what
helps me out helps everyone else out too.
|
I would call that a convergence of interest, wouldnt you?
Cheers,
Allister
