[Drama-committee] Woah there nellies
I agree strongly with Paul. The Word Documnet logos that Martin sent are definitely not what I would go for, at all. Sorry Martin, but they're just not right. And I must state that I _really_ do not agree with an e-mail vote, especially when a proper debate is impossible at the moment. I also think a point needs to be made here about how a committee should work together. Each of us were voted in to deal with specific areas, and we are each both responsible for that area and an authority in that area. There has been a tendency so far to make all descisions as a group. This is actually quite counter-productive. We do not need to disucss and pass every single point that comes up. People should be free to go off and work on making progress in their own areas without constantly consulting with the whole group. We should trust each-others judgement and ability. And a majority vote is not the right way to go on most issues - as I said, some of us have more authority than others about specific areas, and have more of a right to make the decision. So if Paul is designing the website, his judgement on what will work should overrule even the other eight of us being unhappy about it. And I think that in terms of the visual identity of Drama, some of us have more authority about visual matters. Or if it comes to choosing the musical, those of us with a strong interest and understanding of staging musicals should have more weight than a non-dramatic person like myself. That's not to say that everyone can't have an input, but in the vast majority of of cases it should be feedback from the other committee members, not the right to pass/ veto. Votes should only really be taken on very important matters. There are courses for committee training that maybe the SPC should let us all take. Anyway, wanted to say that for a while so got it off my chest :) Paul could be right, give it a few months til we make a final decision.
