Just tossing this out there, but a compromise might be to encourage QA |
| 9 |
to make non-urgent policy changes effective after a period of time |
| 10 |
(~30 days). That would allow them time to make revisions if they feel |
| 11 |
it necessary in light of comments (but would not obligate them to do |
| 12 |
so), and it would give the council time to take action if necessary |
| 13 |
(but QA policies would not require explicit council confirmation). |
| 14 |
Whether any particular policy change warrants the delay vs taking |
| 15 |
effect immediately could be at their discretion. |
