Would committees be a good thing for BL?


In my experience, a committee is almost never a good thing, for anything.

Troy

You are wrong here Troy. At work, any time people want something from me, I gather
a few of these people that always have slightly different opinions and ideas,
and tell them to form a committee, and report their findings to me. That is usually
the end of it. So, they are a good thing if used "properly"

In the specific case that I am suggesting, the reason I think that a committee
would be better than an individual is that there is room for interpretation when
it comes to qualified listings. One individual's point of view will rarely,
if ever, be perfectly objective. A small group will ensure a more balance approach
to enforcement.

I think it is all in the semantics.

A "committee" conjures up a group of people discussing an issue and then forming
and presenting a conclusion. That doesn't seem like it would be helpful.

I think what you are asking for is more along the lines of a "review board" where
each person INDIVIDUALLY looks at the issue and submits their decision. The
system then tallies up the "votes" for the final decision. This seems more workable.

Troy

1st guess for here

committee=angry mob.
