Action Item 190904-3 AS to suggest the term to use to replace the references to the AC-COORD list in the ASO procedures. The wording should match the description of the AC-DISCUSS mailing in the ASO website
"ac-coord" has been referenced 4 times in ASO-AC operating procedures.
=============

Nominations for the positions of Chair for a particular year must be posted on the AC-COORD mailing list no earlier than 00:00 UTC on 1 December and no later than 24:00 UTC on 14 December of the preceding year. Self-nominations are allowed. Nominations must be seconded by another eligible voter. Confirmation of interest from nominated candidates must be posted on the AC-COORD mailing list no later than 31 December at 24:00 UTC.
7.3. Time Constrained Appointment Requests
The AC Chair may decide to make the appointment by eVote after discussion on the ac-coord mailing list, in order to meet appointment deadline.
8.2. eVote
The AC Chair may decide to hold an eVote after a 7 day discussion on the ac-coord mailing list. eVotes will follow the procedures described in our PROCEDURES TO APPOINT MEMBERS TO VARIOUS BODIES sections 7.4 except as follows in section in the next section:
==============
I suggest the following 2 options
Option 1: Replace "ac-coord" with "ac-discuss"
Option 2: Remove "ac-coord" from all 4 references and only mention mailing list along with numbered reference i.e. [1] and at the end clarify the reference
For Example.
7.3. Time Constrained Appointment Requests
The AC Chair may decide to make the appointment by eVote after discussion on the mailing list [1], in order to meet appointment deadline.
