[ga-abuse] [Admin] Complaint Against Patrick Corliss

[k@widgital.com (Kristy McKee)]

Sandy,

  (1) In the view of the list monitors, holding an
  office does /not/ generally release the poster from
  the posting limit.
  (2) However, postings made as part of the duties of
  office will not be counted towards the posting limit.
  Such postings may *for example* include:
  -- announcements regarding nominations, votes or
     voting results,
  -- announcements regarding the publication of
     documents,
  -- announcements regarding the status and results
     of task forces or working groups,
  -- announcements regarding the monitoring of posts,
     suspension of voting rights or overturning of
     suspensions, or
  -- explanations and reminders regarding administrative
     issues such as the status of motions.
  This list shall illustrate that such excluded postings
  should be predominantly factual statements to the GA
  members. Postings stating solely personal opinions
  are not excluded from the posting limit.
  (3) The poster should make it clear that the posting
  is intended to be official (e.g. in the subject line
  or signature or by using a different sender name).

Patrick has posted seven messages within 24 hours,
two of them with the sender name "Alternate Chair":

Two of those posts (eleven & twenty-nine) are legitimate
"official postings", even though the second is rather on
the border between explanation/reminder and his own personal
opinion and maybe not a good model for what official postings
are there for.  We have communicated with Patrick.

Thank you for your complaint.
