Quoting Edward Dyer <aa146@chebucto.ns.ca>: > Doug, > > Is there a clear delineation between the role of "Webmaster" and > that of "Editor-in-Chief"? It seems to me that the Webmaster role > used to be part of the duties of the EIC... > Hi Ed The Webmaster role is a delegation of authority from the Board. Whereas the CCN Editor Policy states "Contentious points will be discussed, however, the final decision rests with the Board of Directors.", it does not provide for a mechanism for immediate or timely decisions. The Board has created the position to rectify this shortcoming. Shortly after my appointment, the Editor-in-Chief sent an e-mail requesting permission to make some changes to the editors page. My response was that the CCN Editor Policy is still in place, that there were no changes to procedures already in place. Implementation of the new web page template had created a situation where contentious points did arise. To maintain a schedule of changes became difficult because the Board only meets every three weeks. The Webmaster role provides for immediate decisions. The Webmaster web page and discussion list, in part, provides the forum to resolve contentious issues. The new web design is an initiative of the Executive Director. While CCN editors, the IP Committee, and others have been involved, there is no formal project team, or project site. I intend to use the Webmaster page as a resource for this project. It is hoped that complete disclosure of project plans, progress, resources, etc. will eleviate concerns and allow for feedback, and consultation in a more formal setting. Doug McCann ------------- from the editorial policy ------ The CCN Editors (under the Editor-In-Chief) decide issues of style and content for CCN Pages. These include CCN standard button bars, visual logos, general organization and style of pages, etc. Some policy is set in common Some is left to individual CCN Editor areas. This is a dynamic and ever growing sphere. CCN Editors must keep up-to-date with current discussions and decisions. In the larger sphere, this editorial policy must dovetail with general CCN-IP and Board of Directors policies on the general nature of the Chebucto Community Net. Contentious points will be discussed, however, the final decision rests with the Board of Directors. The same is true of the CCN Editors group. Decisions are reached by consensus, with the final word being that of the Editor-in-Chief. ------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------- This mail was sent through the Nova Scotia Provincial Server, with technical resources provided by Chebucto Community Net. http://nsaccess.ns.ca/mail/ http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/
