[Rt4-whois] Support staff, adjuncts, etc.

[Kathy Kleiman]

James,

I think this issue of alternates/support staff is a very interesting one, and I appreciate your raising it. You are the only one of us who has now been on two review teams… a special standing.  I recommend we consider it as part of our January meeting discussion.  Do others agree?

 

Best,

	Considering such a policy raises a number of questions:
	
	
	* Can anyone serve as "support staff" or must the staff member be from the same "organization",

	JMB:  This wasn't formalized, but in all cases the support staff was from the same organization.

	 

	* Depending on how we answer the above, what is the policy for "individuals"?

	JMB:  ?

	 

	* Is travel for support staff funded?

	JMB:  No.

	 

	* Can support staff participate in discussions, email or otherwise?

	JMB:  Yes, but with the qualification that they are either speaking on behalf of the full member, or speaking to administrative issues.

	 

	* Can support staff vote, in the absence of a member?

	JMB:  THere were only a few formal votes on the ATRT, and in all cases the support staff did not have a vote.

	 

	* Are supported staff counted when determining quorum (this assumes we vote)?

	JMB:  No.  

	 

	 

	And I'm sure there are more.

	Good morning:
	
	On the ATRT, each member was allowed to name a person to function as their support staff or adjunct to the Review Team. I fulfilled this role for Warren Adelman. Support personnel were non-voting members, but included in all teleconferences and face-to-face meetings, and on the mailing list.
	
	Is this something that RT4 members plan to do as well? By way of disclosure, I have no plans to include any support staff.
	
	Thanks--
	
	J.
