I did not see any problem whatsoever in Jimbo abstaining himself in this vote.
Thank you. I did not think of it as voting against Angela and Anthere.
I also realised afterwards that both Tim and Michael comments absolutely made sense and that such a resolution could not really fit, because each committee must organise itself and create its own rules. I support the underlying concepts behind the resolution, but also recognise that the resolution in itself was making all this a bit too much "one shoe fits all".
Me too. My feeling is that another resolution in this area is possible and desirable, but it is tricky to word in a way that is not vague "feel good" sentiments, but which also does not try to micromanage what committees decide for themselves.
PS : generally, I think all committees will grow in avoiding the trap of excessive and unreasonable secrecy.
And in part, this is not about a resolution, of course, but about day to day practices and cultural norms, which need to be adjusted over time in response to actual problems. (And there will be some! There always are...)
