Bernard: Many of the IESG activities are listed in John's appeal. The DISCUSS Criteria document is probably the biggest step that was taken. ADs routine challenge each other to stay within those guidelines. At the IESG Retreat we had a discussion on this topic. It is very hard to measure.

Hi All, I have a confusion over the operations that can be performed on Read-only objects belonging to a table. A read-only object implies we cannot change the value of the object for that instance. Suppose we have a table in which some objects are read-only, and at least one columnar
