The Spins SIG doesn't want to overload the board and does not want to
frustrate the process with an extra step unless it is required (like
with a new Spin, or at the Board's request), or desirable (like with
major changes).
Great!
What exactly entails a major change remains to be seen -so far I
think
we haven't had any other then the Education Math spin becoming a more
general Education spin (again, not really major).
I wrote a bit on this in a separate thread (sorry for the scattering
-- there were already several going I think). I think the Spins SIG
is fully capable of figuring out what is a major change and what is
not. If any specific problems arise, I think it would be appropriate
for the SIG to escalate as it would any other issue. What do you
think?
