#26: Positions within the council
Within the council, there are the following special positions:
The Council Chair presides and moderates the council meetings, and prepares the meeting agendas with input from the council.
The Council Secretary records and publishes minutes of the council meetings, the council votes and their results, and such other documentation as the council may direct.
The Council Secretary also summarizes and reports the council's other activities to the spf-discuss mailing list, in a way such that personal or otherwise sensitive information, as judged by the council, is not disclosed.
The former position of Council Executive Director no longer exists. Its responsibilities are now those of all council members.
(Proposed on 2006-02-04 by William Leibzon. Passed unanimously.)
23:09 <willix_> Motion - "2006 SPF Council will have two official
positions - council chair, who chairs the meeting and is
responsible for meeting agenda and council secretary, who is
responsible for meeting minutes and publication of council
resolutions. The 2006 Council will not have a separate
posotion of an E.D., but rather the responsibilities of
that position will be shared among all council members."
23:09 <Julian> The thing is, we don't really need to re-approve the
definitions of "Chair"
<http://new.openspf.org/Council_Resolution/5> and "Secretary"
<http://new.openspf.org/Council_Resolution/7>. Those
resolutions can stay as they currently are, I think.
23:10 <Julian> But I can agree to the latest text.
23:10 <Julian> 2309u: seconded.
23:10 <Julian> Votes?
23:10 <MarkK> 2309u: yes
23:10 <Julian> 2309u: yes
23:10 <SDGathman> 2309u: yes
23:10 <willix_> 2309: yes
23:11 <shew> 2310u: yes
23:11 <Julian> shew: I think you mean 2309u (AKA William's motion),
right?
23:11 <shew> correct.
23:11 <shew> 2309u: Yes.
23:11 <shew> (Sorry, I was using time-voted. My misunderstanding.)
23:11 <Julian> No problem. ;-)
23:11 <Julian> So ordered.
