Kevin,  

Thank you for sharing your thoughts regarding PoCo's recent approval of
the new CONSER standard record.  In response to your concerns, let me
offer a few observations that will also serve to explain why I view the
need for formal PoCo voting as unnecessary.

This new initiative represents perhaps the most comprehensively
researched endeavor ever conducted by CONSER.  Since August 2005, over
150 individuals were either directly involved as members of a working
group, review group, or as pilot project participants.  Presentations
concerning the proposal were given at CONSER meetings and at other
relevant venues such as NASIG and ALA.  There were two separate
opportunities for CONSER participants to formally offer comments --
first on the standard record itself (July 24-Oct. 1) and later on the
encoding level and authentication codes (Sept. 22-Oct. 15).   The issues
you specifically raised on CONSRLST in early October and the ensuing
online discussion among members were also a valuable part of the overall
comment process.  

PoCo took into careful consideration all of the feedback received during
this year long development before endorsing the new CONSER standard
record.  It was overwhelmingly clear in our discussions that moving
forward to the implementation stage was felt to be highly desirable by
the majority of stakeholders.  

As you stated so well in an Oct. 6th posting on CONSRLST, "Regardless of
the immediate outcome of any PoCo action on the report, there are issues
that will likely continue to be discussed down the road, since
cataloging guidelines are never a static object."  PoCo acknowledged
that additional work was still needed to address a few remaining areas
of concern and has charged the working group members to give all
comments received serious consideration and deliberation as they work
towards final resolution.  

Just as the process leading to the adoption of the standard record has
been very transparent and widely inclusive, the working group will
continue to employ a strategy that incorporates broad consultation on
the remaining pre-implementation issues.

Mechael:  Thank you for detailing the status of the Access Level Record
proposal.

But on such a serious matter (changing the very basis of the program's
cataloging standards), I am very disappointed that neither CONSER nor
PoCo asked the CONSER Operations Committee for a formal vote on its own
endorsement on the Working Group recommendations, as additional
information for PoCo to consider in its deliberations.  The introduction
to the summary comments (sent out by Les Hawkins on Oct. 24, 2006)
implies a much higher level of agreement with the overall proposal than
appears to be backed up by the compiled comments,  I am very curious as
to what the entire OpCo's sense on the matter (and details) might be.
OpCo, as a group, gave general positive response to only a presentation
of a draft proposal, and has not met since then.

At this point, I respectfully request that the entire OpCo be given a
larger role in resolving the more significant issues raised during the
comment period, such as by having formal votes on proposals regarding
individual items.  (Two specific issues I will mention at the moment,
and which are addressed in the summary comment introduction, are uniform
titles and encoding levels.)
