RE: [RPRWG] Re: Comments from Non-Members
Mike,
I have a slight reservation about proxying of comments. There is a
reason we all attend the standards meeting. We attend it several times a
year to gain voting rights and present our positions and later comment
on the draft standard. My personal opinion is that we should tread very
carefully on proxying of comments on behalf of non-members. Since the
proxy comments are now submitted by a voting member, they now carry the
full weight of a comment submitted by a voter.
How are we going to keep track of who is proxying for whom? Isn't this a
dilution of our voting rights and responsibilities?
Thanks
Vinay

In the past we have accepted comments from anyone
who cared to submit them. I do not see this changing.
I agree with Bob, that a non member does not have the
right to have their rejected comment carried forward
as an unresolved negative.
If Bob or anyone chooses to submit a comment on
behalf of another person, I strongly urge them to
review the comment, agree with it and be able to
argue for it.
