> OK. I have heard from a handful of wrenches that they are not happy with
the limitation of being at least a techie & one that it should not be
limited to one individual. In addition, I have heard from wrenches that are
no longer in the "no way" position and are OK with having a technician on
the list.
>
> Therefore, the following requirements are to be considered the final
solution. Some of us are not entirely happy with it (including myself), but
it is a good compromise of a lot of strong-minded folks. Please let this
move through.
>
> The companies want to be on here. If Xantrex, Siemens, and other manus
feel this list is as important as they have indicated, then on a management
level they will make watching this list a part of one of their techie's job
and figure out how to deal with it when that person goes out of town.
>
> >I am proposing a plan that I hope we can all live with. I have tried to
reach a consensus, but that is not going to happen. Unless you have very
serious overriding concerns, I hope you will stand aside and let this move
forward.
> >
> >1.  Keep the discussion technical.
> >2.  No press releases or other public relations.
> >3.  One technically proficient representative from each major
manufacturer may participate.
> >4.  The manufacturers must understand that although Home Power is
gracious and generous enough to sponsor this list that they have also
allowed the list membership to control the list direction. Thus, if the
list's Wrench members find that a manufacturer is not abiding with the
above, they would be dropped. This would not be a reflection on Home Power
Magazine, only a reflection on us individual wrenches.
> >5.  The Wrenches on the list would continue control of list direction,
not the manufacturers.
> >6.  This policy could be changed later.
> >7.  We (via the list manager) still determine who gets on the list. No
one has a "right" to be on the list.
