I think if we ratify the constitution, we can get the tech
committee to take over the policy managers job. One of the objections
people had was that the policy manager was one lone individual, and
they felt that they were at the whims of that individual. The tech
committee is supposed to be made up of people who have displayed a
modicum of technical competence, and they are not individuals either.
The tech committee shall not by itself decide policy. The
policy group shall decide on this as before; the tech committee shall
merely codify and implement the decisions of the policy group.
How does this sound to people?
