[Businessmtg] Daily Chair Discussion

[Steve Rankin]

Hi ASPers,

Our webmaster has an interesting perspective. This seems to presume that the
leadership of ASP had nothing better to do, or was so into micromanaging
that they went to the considerable bother of going through the server
messages searching for the detailed record of when a member joined ASP.  It
also presumes that the List Administrator and Founder are looking over the
shoulder of the Secretary for nano-second compliance.  

Perhaps, the writer might be inclined to interpret the current guidelines in
this manner since she's using it as her point.  However, my experience at
ASP is that we have never done anything remotely that petty.  In fact, the
record at ASP would show that when we have a volunteer that is short a
trivial amount, we ignored the amount because it was trivial.  In other
cases, where it was small but more than trivial, we addressed it by
postponing their start date.

OTOH, we have had situations where we bent the 'rules' and mind-danced
interpretations to allow someone to serve that we knew didn't meet the
requirement.  Unfortunately, it turned out very badly for the member and for
ASP. 

Love and SERENITY,
Steve

I think there should be some flexibility in the Daily Chair requirements.
The current requirement is 6 months in ASP. This means, currently, that
someone with 5 months, 29 days and 23 hours
*technically* does not meet the requirement and since this info can be
checked by the List Administrator and the Founder, this means that this
volunteer can be turned away. But someone with 6 months and 2 seconds can be
accepted. Is there really that much of a difference between these two times?


I feel that we are setting an arbitrary wall - not a boundary.
