Thanks for writing this up.
As I've said the previous times this has been brought up, my main
personal concern with it is that I think it will lead to domination
of LUG decisions by people who never turn up to actual meetings.
My perception is that the majority of the hard work that goes into
maintaining the LUG's momentum is expended by the committee and the
people that turn up to meetings. I would not like to see these
people effectively disenfranchised by the much larger group that is
only ever heard from on this list.
The list itself is provided by lug.org.uk, comparatively[1] little
effort is required by Hampshire LUG to keep it going day to day and
aside from the decision to open the archives up I don't really
recall any matters that have required a vote. I think it is only
right and proper that people need to turn up in person at a meeting
to vote at those very rare times that it is an issue.
Cheers,
Andy
