Interim Committee
The people listed below have constituted an IOPS Interim Consultative Committee available for decisions about interim choices.
- Any member can propose a decision to other members.
- Members vote by return email.
- If support is overwhelming, the decision holds.
- There is a binding understanding, however, that the committee will address only a minimum of choices where all are deemed absolutely essential to IOPS proceeding, and where they are simply put and uncontroversial - as well as not imposing upon a future membership but at most of interim nature - which explains the need for overwhelming support to pass.
The logic is a belief that serious deicsions must await more members, more experience with chapters and program, and more methodology suited to self management - where the latter will be set by a founding convention. The ICC, in other words, is, as the name implies, interim, not optimal, not a model for the future, but suitable for the current moment. Read more about the early role of the interim committee.
