I know I am not the only forum member that is involved in the code modification process. I would like to see a sub-forum in "other topics" titled "Code Development Discussions". With so much industry influence over code development, and the final decision being in the hands of code administrators, I am surprised there is not already a "grass-roots" kind of movement on this forum to vet code change proposals amongst fellow professionals. Maybe there is...I couldn't find it.
I have a number of proposals in the process this year and I am preparing public comments now. I believe that the best code is the well-vetted code, so I'd like to open myself up for forum whooping and discuss what I am working on. However...I'm wondering...how many folks here ARE involved with the hearings? Worth it to have a sub section? Thread titles would simply be the proposal title. I'd like to start a thread RB265-13 and open discussion on that topic...but I don't know the best place to post it. I'm holding out for a new sub-section. I think this could drive more traffic and members to this forum and, of course, enhance the development of our codes.
If the thread naming convention was maintained like this, those working in code development could simply search with that nomenclature.
Anyone, anyone?
