[Internal-cg] Participation in ICG - 6 points to reach consensus on

[Paul Wilson]

Thanks Patrick for such a thorough review and recommendations.   I agree with all your proposals.

Regarding write access to documents, I think we can all trust each other not to mess things up or exceed our respective roles, so your proposal is fine.

I think Milton’s proposal reflects that it is the IGC members (group A) who have authority and responsibility for the content of substantive documents, and I agree with that, however I still think it is useful and expedient to allow helpful edits from all members of groups A,B,C and D.

Paul.

Everyone involved know about A (above), and because of this we would not need *technical* barriers for individuals regarding what they can/should not do, because the ability for people to do their work is overall more important, and because of this I see these two suggestions can be implemented at the same time.
