what's on the plate

[Joe Rodgers]

The heap of mail since thursday suggests a complex knot of weirdness, but 
it doesn't seem really that complicated-someone point out to me if I'm 
missing something here, OK?

1) alt.sex.*, censorship, resource issues
   Bob Kennewick brought this one up, I think. The question seems to be, 
if we fail to offer the sex channels to seattle, are we guilty of censorship?
Or, depending on who you ask, the question is, how many newsgroups can we 
afford to provide access to, and which ones should be selected?

2) irregularities in the election
    This one is mine. The question is, are the rules being followed as 
they were posted? And if not, what to do about it? The prospect of 
dealing with a conflict like this makes some people want to abolish the 
whole procedure in favor of an appointed temporary board. Monarchy is 
less complicated than democracy, it doesn't make it better.

3) membership in SCN
    This one doesn't have to be fully fleshed out until September, I may 
have made a mistake to bring it up this early (in the Policy area). In 
any case, I haven't heard anyone question the authority of the 
coordinating council to do what it has done so far, so I'm not sure why 
it's of issue here.

Am I missing something here? A face full of pie would be better than 
sullen griping.
