I agree, this is an imperfect mechanism, but there was a desire to get the process going well in advance of the next meeting. Otherwise we would have to wait a few extra months. Also, note that not all voters will be at any given meeting.
All the broadcast mechanisms will be. [ SNIP ]

Lastly, "6.2.1 Program Committee Membership and Selection " is not acceptable, IMO, for the group at large. It should be normalized much like the Mailing List Admins. This disables the ability of the Steering Committee to lead.
Ultimately, the SC is elected to represent the membership and carry out it's will and that should be uniformly actionable across the board in order for the SC to be taken seriously by the group and by Merit.
I'm not sure what you mean here.
It means that it doesn't make a lot of sense to handcuff the SC out of the gate on a supposition that they will do 'something bad' to the PC. Anyhow, it's a window dressing handcuffing. Looks like anyone can be removed with a 5 to 7 vote of the SC. You've all read the revised Charter, top to bottom? Kind of makes 6.2.1 ceremonial. It should be removed based on that alone. [ SNIP. It's procedural, not personal ] -M<
