[Businessmtg] Motion #4 Discussions - Proposed Secretary/Webmaster Changes

[Steve Rankin]

Hi Jerry,

As we discussed in the last Business Meeting, our recommendation deletes one
position and adds another - there is no net change in the number of
positions on the Steering Committee.  

I repeat, we are not recommending any change in the number of seats on the
Steering Committee.

Hugs,
Steve

Subject: [Businessmtg] Motion #4 Discussions - Proposed Secretary/Webmaster
Changes

Biz-Pals,

- - - - -

The three sections of Motion #4 that we'll discuss this month are:
1.	Group Representative
2.	Web Master rolled into Secretary
3.	Founders

- - - - -

Currently on the Floor:
2. Web Master rolled into Secretary

As I stated in previous Business Meetings I strongly oppose combining the
Webmaster and Secretary positions.

Any act which decreases the number of seats on ASP's Steering Committee not
only diminishes the opportunities for members to take leadership roles at
ASP, but also minimizes the variety of inputs to Steering Committee
discussions that having more SC members enables.

It goes without saying that having fewer seats filled on the Steering
Committee increases the power and influence of those positions which would
remain. In the past there have been occasions when one or two Steering
Committee members have exerted influence above their stations only to be
countered by the balance of other SC members.

This ability to maintain a counterbalance to strongly-willed and charismatic
personalities is diminished by reducing the number of seats on the Steering
Committee. This I am opposed to doing.

In service,
Jerry H.
