Dear All, Thank you for the energy you are investing in making the MIXP attain new possibilities.
I propose that we elect a steering committee for 2019 by:
Requesting for volunteers for the steering committee MIXP Peers to vote for and elect the steering committee. As mentioned during the roadshow, we want this to be done with the community involvement.
hi keesun,
i think this is a great idea; two small suggestions: # the steering committee needs some guide of terms of references. i’m happy to provide the ToR that the INX management committee uses as a guideline, or, a more generic governance document that PCH provides as a base for you to start your own. # the committee needs to be replaced every N number of years; i suggest something as simple as having a committee that is no fewer than three, and no more than seven, and renewing candidates every two years. again, i’m happy to explain in detail what we do at INX; and what we suggest as PCH. it’s really not rocket science ..
in the interests of being most useful to MU, i’d suggest that: # direct stakeholders (peers) be permitted to vote, only # you allow your steering/management committee to be as open as possible; if there is an IX expert in japan that wants to be involved, and is willing to commit the time, then, so be it. provided, of course, the peers vote for this person.
i suggest you get this done quickly; there are a few decisions that you need to make, and it’s best to have general community consensus when doing these.
