face=Arial><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT size=2><SPAN class=432373215-21102009>For
example, although I understand the intent behind the "solidarity clause," the
language about "remaining faithful to approved positions" is too vague and
sounds somewhat totalitarian. Both companies and individuals' positions can
change. I don't think we need this language in light of the other language
in the charter on expected standards of
behavior. </SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT size=2><SPAN

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT size=2><SPAN
class=432373215-21102009>I also made changes to clarify that the
Consitutency as a whole should decide which issues are priority policy
issues. The role of the vice chair for policy should more
reasonably be to coordinate with members as to which policies are
priorities, not to make those decisions unilaterally. Finally, I
deleted the provision about compliance with "prevailing privacy laws" since
there are literally thousands of laws and regulations around the world
and no one BC member can reasonably be expected to know them all. The
language requiring general compliance with the care of personal data should
be sufficient.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

these are initial proposed changes to this document only. I also liked the
draft charter that Marilyn posted earlier and saw it as largely
non-controversial. If it is not feasible to work off the many good
suggestions in her draft, Marilyn should be provided with the opportunity
to insert the best aspects of that document into the current draft for further
consideration. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
