General Discussion and Management

[M D]

A Committee is good and the CAT can lead the project

[Shankbot de Bodemloze]

Sounds good.

I'll let Acco check in and see where that leave us.

Your thoughts guys?

[Acco]

An awards committee sounds good. As the others suggested, it should be in the FM so that others can also help out.

[Shankbot de Bodemloze]

Great, we'll defiantly go ahead with that.

I'll PM the Curator/Hex and let them know.

[Shankbot de Bodemloze]

PM'ed GotR, he'll kindly pass it on further up the chain.

[Shankbot de Bodemloze]

Guys we could really do with you 3 posting a review each of something. I'll try and get another up over the weekend as well.

[Shankbot de Bodemloze]

Okay so after speaking to Mr Curator I'm planning to post an amendment so the current forum name is reflected in the Constitution. Do any of you have any objections?

Sounds good. Or we could just not list any name (the name itself is irrelevant). Either way the sentence should be changed, since this forum is not the "Domum Feles". On a similar note, shall we also maintain the "Tom Cat" title?

Also, I see that the CAT comprises its own section of the Constitution. Might it be more appropriate as an article of Section 2 (about the Curia)?

[Shankbot de Bodemloze]

I think we should provide a name, there is any harm if people know what it is called. And we must keep Tom Cat.

I'm not versed in the ways of the Curia - so where it is placed would have to be confirmed by the Curator.

[Genius of the Restoration]

I wouldn't worry about the Constitution too much unless there's a problem. You guys are the go-getters, leave the bureaucracy to the rest. It's up to you of course

I think it's fine where it is too

[Shankbot de Bodemloze]

Fair enough... I was just trying to do things the Curia-way.

[Shankbot de Bodemloze]

Okay so Product Reviews - 'tis looking good. Thank-you Acco for posting one.

On a side note instead of people adding their own [category of product] should we provide a list of categories that something can fall under and have them listed in the rules thread? If so how many on the list?

I think at the moment we need a few, broad categories but when things start getting busier we can add more as and when. Your thoughts?

[Shankbot de Bodemloze]

Okay guys, something important we need to discuss.

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=575056

What are your thoughts on this? As it effects that CAT I'd appreciate if you didn't offer your own individual Oppose/Support but we discuss it and come back with a decision as a group.

[Acco]

Hmm. I don't think opening the forum would cause any harm, and so far none of our discussions have shown the absolute need for privacy. By comparison, the CdeC has a great deal of transparency even though citizenship applications can be relatively sensitive affairs.

If anything requiring private discussion should arise in the future, we could perhaps create a forum within this forum for that.

[Shankbot de Bodemloze]

Okay. I was thinking though it may have some effect on what we discuss, and how frank we feel we can be with each other, if a lot of people can see this? Just brainstorming ideas here.

There is always the possibility of opening threads in the Curia to get more input etc. For example we are pretty much done with the Review of the Month competition, so that could be something we put before the whole of the Curia for discussion?

Personally I wouldn't be any less frank, and as I said before, nothing we say here is particularly sensitive to begin with, it mostly deals with policy.

Instead of creating new threads, it may be easier to ask for opinions in the Townhall thread in the Curia main (and have the title edited so that it includes the CAT).

[Shankbot de Bodemloze]

Fair enough, and yeah the Townhall thread could be used, we could post our ides from the threads and let them have a look.

[Genius of the Restoration]

I've changed the name of the Townhall if you want to use that.

[Shankbot de Bodemloze]

I'll see what the others think first, but thanks.

If we support this or if we don't, it may still pass or not pass - we'll need to wait and see. The question now is do we want to support it? From what I've gathered Acco is in favour, just need MD and 'Gunny to let us know.
