Hi all,
I've (finally) performed what I hope is the final editing pass of
the FPRC report. It's online at
http://web.mit.edu/ua/committee/fprc/report/4th/report.pdf. I'll be
sending it out to the Senate in about an hour, and I think they'll want
to approve it at the Monday meeting. If you have final comments before
either of those, I'd be open to hearing them.
It would be nice if what Senate approved was formally the report of the
FPRC, but I don't feel comfortable saying that without something
resembling a vote. There are few changes (some stuff from SAO, some
proofreading, not much else, I think --- you can check the git repo for
details) since the drafts were approved way back in ~August, so
hopefully this won't be a problem.
Anyway, I'd appreciate hearing back by Sunday at 1PM with one of:
1) "Approve" (hopefully I'll get a lot of these...)
2) "Reject"
3) "I need more time" ("I'm hosed right now, but I'd like to take a
closer look" --- please indicate when you can take such a closer look)
4) "Abstain" (roughly "I don't care anymore")
You can also recommend changes --- if you do, please send them to the
whole list, not just me, so that others can object.
However, I'm not really open to major changes --- as I wrote in
http://diswww.mit.edu/charon/ua-fprc/55:
> If we get out of the meeting without any controversial changes to a
> document, that document will be closed and will not be reopened at a
> meeting without a very good reason and several people indicating their
> support (via email, personal discussion with me, etc.).
I'm also not going to worry about "quorum" --- if somebody can't give
one of the four responses listed above by Sunday at 1PM, I'm going to
interpret that as not wanting to be on the committee any more or something.
~~Alex
