Negotiation, naturally, is just that. You don't get everything you want because both sides of a negotiation want to get things. Asking someone to negotiate for you is asking them to navigate those trade-offs for you, to make these decisions. I don't think we should have done that. When we were waiting for a contract, I would have supported a rescission - not because I thought the chair was doing a bad job or I was worried about the terms, but because the long wait suggested to me that there was a stalemate, and sometimes you can break a stalemate by putting in a new person.</div><div><br></div><div>That isn't what we're talking about here, though. Instead, after giving this task to the chair, this is an effort to turn around when the task is done and criticize the priorities chosen and decisions made and say "you could have gotten a better deal without giving anything up." How do we know that? We don't, but we'd be banking on it, because if not, we're not going to get a new deal anytime soon. </div><div><br></div><div>I find it very aggravating that we pushed this task onto the chair, and now want to say "you should have done it differently." I also see no plan for what will come next here. Do we select a new negotiator? What if the LNC doesn't like what they come back with, either? Surely no one expects this entire body to negotiate a contract, which is not too many cook spoiling the broth - it's 20 cooks trying to flip a pancake. </div><div><br></div><div>I vote no.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div><div dir="ltr">Joshua A.

I don't think the campaign is going to want to spend these four or five weeks resisting having a signed contract because they demand secrecy on a document which, if it isn't signed, they would have no guarantee would not be publicly released anyway. Especially because we've seen no evidence that they <i>are</i> demanding secrecy.
