I greatly appreciate being nominated and seconded for a post on this committee, thank you Togas, Vlad , GK. However, I am torn....part of me says this will be time consuming and I don't really have much free time to spare. The other part of me says, I like doing this kind of stuff and, given that I was against such a committee being formed, joining it will allow me some type of control on the process.
But, its not fair to join something and not give it the time it warrants, and possibly take a position from someone who can provide the time. So I will have to decline.
Please, to those who do end up on the committee....do not throw the baby out with the bath water. That is, those items that work currently in the CoL should be left as is and not changed. Also, remember that everything in the current CoL was approved by a 2/3's vote.
There is no reason to destroy what has taken hours and hours to create, simply in the name of reform. The most successful revolutions, if you will, were not so much revolutions but variations on what was there to begin with.
Finally, simplicity, clarity, readability...should always be in your minds as you take this task on...let not your position rule your common sense. And, most of all, remember what you write must stand the test of time, it must adapt as the game proceeds and it must be dynamic, not static. This shirt of democracy, needs to be "one size fits all".
Having said that, I have my full faith in those parties who have been nominated, and know they will do their best.

), I'd be willing to go back and drop myself out... In other words, no one should be saying "I'd like to do it, but don't want to mess up the four people who have accepted..." if there's anyone else who's been nominated and seconded and who wants it, speek up, and I'd be willing to step aside.
