| My experience with such committees is much slower than that. I've been in a union and I've been a part of a private committee. Both took forever to get anything approved because every little issue required a vote. For most committees that I've heard about, they meet once a weak, even for businesses. My union would get about 2 issues of any significance acheived (by vote) on each week. Then there's the senate and congress. Watching both of those committees work, it's a little faster, but still pretty slow.
It's fairly limited experience, but when I studied the ROR, it seemed pretty slow if you follow the letter of the rules. But the ROR is merely guidelines. A committee can choose its own rules or modify the ROR for their committee at will. So if a committee wants to streamline things, they could change it.
__________________ My current view of the OGL: Though accomplishing exactly what it was meant to do, it is flawed for not providing WOTC more latitude.
My current view of the GSL: section 2 and subsections 6.1, 11.1, and 11.3 need to be completely rewritten to protect the licensee from abuse, but the rest of the GSL is commendable and provides loss leader dynamics superior to the OGL, as the point to being a loss leader is pointing the community toward the loss leader.
