[Cz-editcouncil] CZ Editorial Council Resolution 0013

[M. BALDWIN-EDWARDS]

MessageDear EC member,

Apropos of Larry's comment below, and in light of the fact that I seem to have missed the end of the public discussion period for Resolution 0013 (medical disclaimers), rather than processing to a vote, I propose [subject to the Chair's agreement] to extend the period for open discussion for another 7 days, ending 18.00 UTC, 25 July 2008.

This resolution, too, seems to have prompted reservations from a few Citizens in the Forum. 

Please participate in the discussion -- either on the Forum or by making a member's statement. As explained by Larry, you can also propose an amendment.

Best wishes

Martin Baldwin-Edwards
Secretary
CZ Editorial Council

  All,

  I have a short comment about Council operations that I hope is not out of order.  Considering the amount of disagreement with resolution 12, I am surprised that there was not more discussion about it.  It would be very helpful if those of us who disagree with a resolution would state their case.

  Also, at least two people said that the resolution should be changed in this way or that, but they didn't propose any amendment.  I might have helped myself, but I have been very busy lately, and I think it's very important that we get into the habit of doing things independently of the Editor-in-Chief.  It is very easy to suggest an amendment: just say on this list, after discussion has begun, that you propose such-and-such a change to the resolution.  Then the Chair can either call for a vote on the amendment or, if it seems unobjectionable, the Chair can ask that the amendment to be adopted "by acclamation."  That just takes at a minimum one e-mail and you have done your job; the Chair and Secretary can handle all the rest.

  Of course, I realize that it's the summer...

  --Larry
