- Author is resigning early from the Nix Steering Committee due to perceived inefficiencies and stagnation.
- Believes the Steering Committee is too large, suggesting a reduction to 3-5 members to improve responsibility and decision-making.
- Highlights issues like diffusion of responsibility, stagnation, and difficulty in building consensus due to the committee's size.
- Criticizes the committee's timidity and inability to 'disagree and commit', leading to stalled initiatives.
- Points out poor self-organization, including the policy of 'speaking with one voice' which slowed responses and communication.
- Mentions absenteeism as a significant problem, masked by lack of public accountability for votes and statements.
- Expresses hope that publicizing these issues will spur reforms and encourage new candidates to run for the committee.
- Acknowledges some positive outcomes but feels the committee has not reached its full potential.
- Encourages others to run for the vacant seats to bring change and improve the committee's effectiveness.
