Hi gang - here is my feedback on the Group Lifecycle Administrative Proceedures document.
I am a bit confused, as this document seems to cover project lifecycle, but then we also have a project instantiation document (or was that project instantiation doc the one that was for the old constitution? if so, it may help to remove it from the list) I also don't like how email notifications about new group creations/project creations have been removed. Notifications serve two puporses: find new people interested in the new thing, self select for overlap. (that is, Goal #5 doesn't seem to be met in the process, so it may just be an oversite in the document?) Step #4 in creation process seems like it could be a black hole. A simple: "Wait" seems like something that may never happen, unlike our current process where ogb-discuss is notified when something like this is ready and the project creation alias. The creation process (step #3) is in conflict with the Group Management document that requires 3 votes for the creation, and here just requires one (besides yourself). These two policies overlap in their nature and need to be consistent.
