22 September 2015
This morning another of our rubbish committees meets to waste time talking about non-issues. This one is the Regulatory Affairs Committee. It used to be called the Regulatory Responses Committee, but then we decided we were fed up of always responding to regulatory problems after they’d bitten us on the backside, and that it was time we took the regulatory initiative and saw the problems coming and did something about them before they arrived. We spend the first hour talking about how to respond to a letter from IPReg on Important Regulatory Business, which has indeed bitten us on the backside. We agree that I will write the response. Then we agree that Mr Davies will write us a regulatory manifesto, that is Proactive and Assertive and not Responsive at all. And I think: how is this fair?? How come he gets all the fun things to write? But I do not say so out loud. 23 September 2015 I write up my notes from Monday’s meeting. The others say: You cannot write that. Then I draft the letter on Important Regulatory Business. The others say: You cannot write that either. (Though I’m sure that’s what they told me to write yesterday.) Finally I write a speech to welcome a new High Court judge, because that is apparently what the CIPA President has to do and no one was able to think quickly enough to avert this potential disaster. This time I am not going to show my writing to anyone; I am just going to go out there and say it. So there! A leader needs to be bold now and then, I feel.
