Should all 'Standing Committees' be mentioned in the bylaws? #8

Closed lexnederbragt closed 2 years ago

lexnederbragt commented 3 years ago

A permanent committee is sometimes called a Standing Committee, in contrast to an ad-hoc committee, or Task Force.

It can be argued that all such Standing Committees of The Carpentries should be listed in the bylaws, for example the Instructor Development and Lesson Infrastructure Committees.

I'm not accustomed to the term "Standing Committees". Will this be the term used instead of Task Force?

lexnederbragt commented 3 years ago

No: a Task Force is in place for a limited time, while a Standing Committee is permanent (or at least intended to function indefinitely).

Are we including charters of the standing committees in bylaws or try to keep the text in bylaws as generic as possible and keep the charters outside in the EC portion of the Handbook?
