[Lpk-rules] Rules Comm meeting? Time is actually short...

[Ken Moellman]

All - 

I think it is important to start meeting at some time soon.  I am
looking for 2 other members to co-sponsor the holding of a meeting on
August 24th at the Paul Sawyier library in Frankfort, from 1PM to
4:30PM, with a backup location being one of the hotels in Frankfort with
meeting space (if Paul Sawyier fills up before reservations are made).  

Further, without officers in the committee, there's a question about
where members would submit their proposals from outside of the
committee. Once established, all records should be held by the committee
secretary (ideally, IMO, on Google Drive) 

Working backwards through the timeline:

March 2020 - state convention
Mid-Jan/Mid-Feb 2020 - final Rules Comm report is due
Late Nov and All December 2019 - Holidays and vacations

It's now about mid-August.  

August 17th has multiple events happening the same day. 

Therefore, I think August 24th is the earliest reasonable time we can
meet to start.  

That reasonably leaves Sept, Oct, and the first half of November to do
this work, plus a "finalization" during the first two weeks of January. 
That's only 10 weeks of work, and 2 weeks of any cleanup.

In my experience, rules proposals should be taken slowly and considered
over time. The ram-rodding of ideas without consideration of the
ramifications is what caused the problems post-2017, and while much has
been cleaned up, issues still linger that need to be resolved (IMO,
anyway).
