Sounds good, Jim. I'll try to figure out how to get to an OGB meeting
in August (I usually have a conflict at the regular time). In the
meantime, I'm working on updating the documents based on multiple recent
discussions and questions. There's a lot of information and a lot of
change so I'm assuming the documents will continue to evolve.
Thanks.

Thanks Bonnie.
It is still not clear to me that we have to wait for a new constitution
to address some of the website implementation compromises. I don't
see things as black and white. The OGB may be able make interpretations
that help your team make advances prior to a new constitution being
approved. I already see some opportunities. I welcome learning more
about the specific constitutional areas impacting your team, when you
have time.
Cheers,
Jim

Hi,
Auth will deploy on Aug 3 because we must move off the current portal
application. After deployment we will track usage and any issues as
is standard practice when releasing software. Changes can always be
considered based on new data, and we've said we can support updates
next year when and if there is a new constitution. In fact, we've
already made updates recently because the proposed new constitution
was not ratified, so we don't expect major issues with updates.
In the past, people have been frustrated by the differences between
the existing constitution and the current website, so we need to
resolve the conflicts to arrive at one reality. We are not there yet
because the new constitution didn't pass and we don't have one
specification from which to work, but the goal has always been to
build a website that expresses community structures as specified in
the constitution.
There are a small number of ways to architect a solution, and we
chose one that enables us to solve the immediate problems while also
giving us the flexibility to grow. No solution is perfect and not
everyone will agree with all aspects of any implementation, but we
can evolve in the future.
