1. Discrimination against non-government employees. Only government employee members are entitled to vote. While elected officials cast votes for or against legislation on behalf of the public, the public can cast a vote for or against the official. The public has no such opportunity with government members of ICC, but such members vote on legislation that encumbers the public. Discrimination against non-governmental employees is wrong.2. Inability to modify provisions in next code edition based on experience from current adopted and enforced code. Most jurisdictions adopt and enforce the model code several months after it is published. Consider how it is the middle of 2012, and jurisdiction X is still using the 2009 code. After a couple years with the 2009 code, the local users of the code may have developed thoughtful amendments they wanted to propose for the next code edition. So, the end of 2011 comes and the proposed code change is submitted...just in time to be considered for the 2015 edition, while the 2012 is already written and awaits adoption next year. Not allowing for incorporation of improvements based on user experience is wrong.
3. No absentee voting. Mandating attendance increases consumption of fossil fuels and places an undue burden on the time and money required for participation.
