re. Director vs. Chair from Jo:
HI Fatema, The name of WICS is still the Women in Computer Science Committee, and I’m currently the chair of that committee. What is new is that the School started a new Director-level position in its administration: the Director of Women in Computer Science, and I currently served in that role as well. I expect that it will normally be the case that the Director of Women in Computer Science will chair the WICS committee, but they are technically two different roles.
I think the person we want to refer to is still chair of the committee. What think?
Agreed, re: Chair Fatema. Let's change all instances of Director to Chair.
Do we need "dissolution" and "acceptable use of committee resources" sections?
I feel like "no" for the dissolution section for now, and that we should have an "acceptance use of resources" section.
Re: enforcement, most constitutions I've looked at don't have a specific clause, so I'll mark that as done.
I am going to address feedback in #146 to hopefully make it mergeable, submit a PR regarding committee members leaving (or their removal), and then my hope is that this can be read through over the weekend and can be ratified during the next meeting.
Wanted to add a responsibility for chair:
"To work with the secretary to ensure that members are able to complete their assigned tasks, and that the committee functions cohesively"
Okay, so we're just waiting on the decisions on the two different wordings in #146. Once that's merged, this issue will be closed and we can make a pull request for the entire constitution into master.
In #112, it became clear that there were too many issues raised with the constitution to address in a single pull request. Hence, I merged that PR into a separate branch such that we can address issues one-by-one.
Here is a list of known issues/requests that we've seen thus far for the constitution. For each one, feel free to make a single issue to track it if it requires extensive discussion.
