I am also a lurker and very ocasional poster on this list, but I want to say thank you for saying so much that needed to be said about CILIP and the recent discussions on this list.
I am one of the active CILIP members and believe that our strength as our profession under threat is in the added value we give in working together. We need to support the difficult decisions if it means we can have an active and effective professional organization.
My main concern is about how proposals and changes are communicated to members and non members leading to misunderstandings and long debates.

Subject: Observations on the Lis-Cilip decision
I'm speaking from my vantage point as chair of Cilip council not in any way
officially on behalf of Cilip (or anyone else).
The facts:
Cilip council debated this issue at length and in detail. Before the
meeting I worked closely with Chris Armstrong to ensure that he would have
the fullest possible opportunity to present his case - as I would with any
member of Council who had a difficult and controversial issue to present (ie
not just people like Chris whose work on Council I admire immensely). The
arguments for both sides were presented fully and anyone who wished to speak
on this issue was able to do so. At the end of the debate, council voted
decisively though not overwhelmingly to close lis-cilip at the point at
which the replacement Community of Practice was functioning at such a level
of activity as to constitute a replacement.
Democracy:
There has been a lot of talk on the list about democracy, most of which has
been in my opinion tosh. Cilip is not a pub quiz team, it's a multi-million
pound charity founded on our royal charter. The vote in council is
democracy, and democracy includes putting up and going along with
properly-constituted decisions which we happen not to like. Shouting loudly
on lists is satisfying, necessarym, helpful - all sorts of things but
democrcy it ain't. I topped the poll at the last national councillor
elections with barely 10% of the electorate voting for me, so it's certainly
flawed democracy. At Chris A's instigation we now have a governance review
under way; early straws in the wind indicate that it will go through Cilip's
structures like a ninja in a bad kung fu film so this at least might be
improved radically and quickly.
Council having voted after full and proper debate, this is a done deal. I
for one would be reluctant to see any matter return to council's agenda
simply because some reople really, really didn't like the decision first
time round.
Criticism:
I feel I should lay this to rest.It's been said that councillors who voted
to close the list don't like criticism, so they close the list that
criticises them. I think this is untrue and unfair. For one thing, I'd be
surprised if a third of those who voted against lis-cilip were members. It
never came up as an issue during the debate, either explicitly or in coded
references to "pulling together in this time of crisis ect ect". I would
personally prefer it if the debate didn't encompass name-calling, but hey I
like a hearty exchange of views as much as the next mouthy little
wicket-keeper.
Priorities:
Given the problems crowding in on Cilip and our profession generally this
mus barely register on the radar, particularly when it can be solved by 20
minutes' decisive action (see below). To give a modest selection:
1. Cilip is in the financial mire. We're not in the bankruptcy court yet
but we are, metaphorically listening to the debt-dodging adverts on daytime
television. We have a long period of austerity and uncomfortable decisions
ahead of us (and thank goodness we have a treasurer with abilities to match
his problems).
2. Cilip membership is in a decline which may be inexorable and is
certainly proving hard to reverse.
3. A huge chunk of Cilip income comes from classified recruitment
advertising, which to say the least has a cloudy future
4. Libraries of all types are facing anti-professional attitudes and
serious questions about staffing levels in a networked world. STM and many
other research libraries are teetering on the edge of a period of
fundamental change, and I'm sure the same thing is true of types of
libraries I'm less familiar with.
5. Many of our traditional professional skills have been and are being
overtaken by IT based solutions - both end-user solutions which by-pass the
professional altogether and efficiency gainers within library processes.
In this environment, we don't want to be sitting around arguing which song
we want the orchestra to play next as the rising water shorts out the
chandeliers.
Cilip name:
Legal considerations aside, it would simply be daft and
credibility-puncturing to set up a replacement list which used the Cilip
name or any "clever" little variation on it. If it's worth doing it stands
by itself and there's been enough divisiveness already. How about what we
might call the Zindane argument - not degrading oneself for the joy of a
momentary sneer?
Phasing out
Solution:
One of those who feels strongly - get off yer bum, set up a list called
lis-prof or whatever and post the joining instructions to lis-cilip. Then
we can all migrate away and carry on as before. If you can't find someone
for whom JISC will set up the list, there are hundreds and hundreds of
commercial list providers (eg www.listserve.com <http://www.listserve.com>
who will do it for not much money.
Merton's Law
Charles Oppenheim points out that according to Merton's Law one would expect
there to be about 150 active members of CILIP. In fact, and excluding
lis-cilip membership, the actual figure is between two and three thousand
depending on how you define "active" - which is prety phenomenal and gives
hope for the future.
CONCLUSION
Accept that the fait really is accompli, move on, sort out an alternative,
let me know how to sign up when you have. And start discussion real issues
not froth.
My opinion on the Lis-Cilip Question:
(Given last because it's not germane to the points I want to make but I
don't want to set any more hares running - I have a day job.)
I don't care much either way but after hearing the argument and seeing the
commotion I think things should have been left alone because the benefits of
fiddling not match the costs of the fall-out.
After 16 years at one of the world's most successful member organisations my
much-repeated opinion is (a) membership organisations are there to provide
services to their members , and (b) people who are not prepared to join
their professional association and participate in some small way cannot be
considered fully professional and do a disservice to the profession on whose
periphery they hover. This is strongly worded, but it's how I feel and when
I ran a library it was part of recruitment and staff appraisal arrangements.
I am also enough of a grumpy old man to KNOW in my bones that something
called a "Community of Practice" is a load of b*ll*cks and no good to man
nor beast.
So, I think that something called lis-cilip should be member-only. However,
there is clearly a need for somewhere for the wider LIS diaspora to go when
they feel the need for a good rant and there probably is space for an open,
unmoderated list for this purpose. I'd probably even sign up.
But in the end, having seen the vociferous nature of the opposition, I think
that pushing on with the lis-cilip closure has been a misjudgement. The
actual numbers of Cilip members who care are obviously miniscule, but as
I've said before the issue is only a sideshow. The real concerns, the real
democracy and the real opportunity to (in the words of the wonderful Betty
Carter song) DO SOMETHING - these lie elsewhere and on the whole require a
bit of work.
