[PSUBS-MAILIST] prepare for congressional intervention

["Jens Laland" <laland@artematrix.org>]

In an answer to my posting, called "organization and membership status",
Jon wrote, quote:

** We already have a section on the web site for design and
** building practices called "Standards & Guidelines" including a reference
** to the GL agency which you recommended.

I know we have these references, but my concern is:

I do not believe hyperlinks on our website to various third-part documents
will be considered (or understood) as being part of our own recommended
design and building practices?

Being "one catastrophe away from congressional intervention" is a serious
next-event for this group.

Vance also wrote in his posting of June 9, under the "submarine
kit-builder's society rules" thread, quote:

** Let us not consider waiting for a fatality to prove or disprove any of
** this. I have met and become friends with many of the folks on this list.
** I admire them all for their grit and skill and enthusiasm. Our job here
** is to share that, and to promote safety along with our peculiar passion.

My proposal is that we continue making our own documents.

In doing so we could include (cut and paste) sections and paragraphs from
third part documents.

We should also consider to modify such sections and paragraphs as we see
fit to better suit our own type of vessels and operations.

Then, at least we will have some documentation of our own to show the
authorities when the said next-event comes.

Besides, I don't think the psubs mailing list archive will do as any
feasible document in any dispute with anybody but ourselves.

Best regards,
Jens Laland
