Matthew,
I will continue logging the course of this discussion in
a way that its details can be found more easily in future.
I have noticed a tendency in the Leadership of this Group
to ignore what they perhaps regard as uncomfortable Issues.
Still, I believe that it would accord with general Consent:
Duty demands of Leadership that it face less facile Issues.
MW: I have heard no objection to anyone being able
to raise an issue against an SUO deliverable,
so I will update the Procedures document to
reflect this.
JA: Yes, I think this to be the wisest course.
Needless to say, the Procedure document
is itself among the Deliverables.
I remind you that we do not have a Definition of Issue yet.
Indeed, we do not even have Consensus on the Principles
that might govern arriving at such a Definition, neither
of the concept of Issue nor of any other Concept or Term.
Indeed, my sense is that you continue to ignore the Issues
that I have raised with regard to this Topic, perhaps even
to deny their status as Issues.
That is, of course, a very Typical pattern of Conduct, but that
does not mean by any means that it should be assented to as Normal,
in effect, capitulated to as the Norm. The Humpty Dumpty Doctrine
notwithstanding, I observe that many people cite H.D. approvingly
without reading far enough to assimilate the Moral of the story.
I advise you that I consider this to be a very serious Matter,
and thus I consider it my Obligation to persist in raising it.
Just a bit of friendly Advice, as I believe
that it will save time in future to address
these Issues at the outset, instead of later.
