schestowitz	However I noticed that in the last week or two there were no posts from you anymore. Like now, I received the post about "why openbsd" because of #security but I did NOT receive e.g. "v0.469 Scheduler Released With #Linux 4.5 #Kernel Support" although I'm following #linux. Because of this I put your profile to the contacts, but there were just too many posts I'm not interested in. Anyhow, thank you again, please do not forget the tags.	Mar 25 17:47

schestowitz	The CSC members have been informed yesterday, 23 March, by our colleague, Elisabeth Hardon, SUEPO Chair	Mar 25 19:59
schestowitz	in Munich, of the last developments regarding her latest disciplinary case.	Mar 25 19:59
schestowitz	Ini ally dismissed by the president on the 15th of January 2016, Ms. Hardon has filed a Request for Review	Mar 25 19:59
schestowitz	on 28 of January (see pdf a ached). Last week's meeting with the Office management had given no sign that	Mar 25 19:59
schestowitz	this review had even been considered by the President.	Mar 25 19:59
schestowitz	On the 15 March in its 147th session, the Administra ve Council took the following unprecedented resolu on	Mar 25 19:59
schestowitz	(see AC/26/16 and AC communiqué) regarding the conflict and amongst others ar culated the	Mar 25 19:59
schestowitz	following conclusions and requests (sic!) regarding the disciplinary cases:	Mar 25 19:59

schestowitz	- to ensure that disciplinary sanc ons and proceedings are not only fair but also seen to be so, and to consider	Mar 25 19:59
schestowitz	the possibility of involvement of an external reviewer or of arbitra on or media on	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	- pending the outcome of this process and before further decisions in disciplinary cases are taken, to inform	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	the AC in appropriate detail and make proposals that enhance confidence in fair and reasonable proceedings and	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	sanc ons;"	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	Less than a week a er said resolu on, the president has decided on 21 March to par ally grant Ms. Hardon’s	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	request for review and revised the sanc on (see pdf a ached). In essence it maintains the dismissal but	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	cancelled the 20% reduc on of pension.	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	In substance it rejects the existence of any procedural flaws and all the arguments presented by the	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	defendant qualifying them as allega ons and reiterates the appropriateness of the sanc ons decided.	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	However, having listed again all the reasons, the president has "decided on an ex gra a basis to par ally grant	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	the request for review“.	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	2- Posi ve decision but falls short of the claims: the knife is only pulled half back...	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	Clearly it is premature to comment thoroughly on this case, all the more since there are s ll two further	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	disciplinary cases open out there wai ng to be reviewed. However it is the adequate to use the opportunity	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	to take stock: have some of the claims of the pe on or the requests of the AC resolu ons been met?	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	On a posi ve side, fact is that it is a rather good news! It goes in the right direc on both for the individual and	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	for the general claims cited above. It represent a tangible proof that the words of the Administra ve Council	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	to the president have not fallen on deaf ears. This decision is all the more remarkable that is the first example	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	under Mr. Ba stelli's rule that the president has taken a step back. Not only was the decision revised to the	Mar 25 20:00

schestowitz	On the nega ve side, fact is that is far from mee ng the Staff or the AC claims:	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	· first, the offer to use external insight to review the case, requested both by the AC and staff,	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	has been ignored.	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	· Secondly at no stage does it contain any recogni on that the cri cism regarding the arguments or the	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	procedure may have any basis. On the contrary: the decision is dwelt on in all its brutal strength .	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	· Last but not least, a er having already suffered previously a roughshod downgrade - against the	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	unanimous recommenda on of the disciplinary commi ee - leading to an effec ve substan al reduc on of	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	her pension, a er having been publicly named and blamed in diverse media for many evils done to the	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	EPO reputa on, Ms. Hardon remains summarily dismissed from the Office despite the considerable length	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	of her contribu on and her unfaltering commitment to the European Patent Organisa on.	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	In other words, one cannot get rid of the feeling that even if the knife has been slightly "pulled back", offering	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	a temporary sense of relief, it does not hide the fact that it remain deeply "stuck in".	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	3- Le er on behalf of the ini ators of the strike: strike day is to be expected some me in April	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	Yesterday, Wednesday 23 March, the CSC has received a le er on behalf of the ini ators of the	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	strike “Lawfulness at the EPO”, by the designated lawyer (copied below for your convenience).	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	The CSC acts on behalf of all staff and in par cular of the 3701 voters expressing their claims. In the light of	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	the recent development, the CSC will most probably share the lawyer’s assessment of the situa on	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	and comes to the conclusion that by and large the pe on claims have not been met. If social	Mar 25 20:01
schestowitz	dialogue before the strike day does not lead to a substan al progress on the grounds for strike, the CSC will be	Mar 25 20:01
schestowitz	obliged to recommend the termina on of the strike suspension.	Mar 25 20:01
schestowitz	The CSC is nominated as interlocutor and has the final say on this ma er. The last input will also be	Mar 25 20:01
schestowitz	considered by the CSC in the light of calendar in the coming weeks; considering the fact that many staff	Mar 25 20:01
schestowitz	office-wide will be on diverse vaca ons around Easter, one can expect a no fica on coming soon for a strike	Mar 25 20:01
schestowitz	day some me in April.	Mar 25 20:01
schestowitz	On a more personal note, it seems now obvious that the present management has the inten on to survive all	Mar 25 20:01
schestowitz	this at all cost! Staff will need to express very clear messages during the coming process. While the first steps	Mar 25 20:01
schestowitz	may have been done, the goal is s ll very remote: It will need more than just some “show” by the EPO	Mar 25 20:01
schestowitz	leadership that it can learn and adapt to concretely solve the problems at hand, to solve what has been	Mar 25 20:01

schestowitz	ally granted by cancelling the 20%	Mar 25 19:59
schestowitz	The CSC members have been informed yesterday, 23 March, by our colleague, Elisabeth Hardon, SUEPO Chair	Mar 25 19:59
schestowitz	in Munich, of the last developments regarding her latest disciplinary case.	Mar 25 19:59
schestowitz	Ini ally dismissed by the president on the 15th of January 2016, Ms. Hardon has filed a Request for Review	Mar 25 19:59
schestowitz	on 28 of January (see pdf a ached). Last week's meeting with the Office management had given no sign that	Mar 25 19:59
schestowitz	this review had even been considered by the President.	Mar 25 19:59
schestowitz	On the 15 March in its 147th session, the Administra ve Council took the following unprecedented resolu on	Mar 25 19:59
schestowitz	(see AC/26/16 and AC communiqué) regarding the conflict and amongst others ar culated the	Mar 25 19:59
schestowitz	following conclusions and requests (sic!) regarding the disciplinary cases:	Mar 25 19:59
schestowitz	"no ng that these disciplinary sanc ons and proceedings are widely being ques oned in the public opinion;	Mar 25 19:59
schestowitz	[... The AC] Requests the EPOffice President	Mar 25 19:59
schestowitz	- to ensure that disciplinary sanc ons and proceedings are not only fair but also seen to be so, and to consider	Mar 25 19:59
schestowitz	the possibility of involvement of an external reviewer or of arbitra on or media on	Mar 25 19:59
schestowitz	- pending the outcome of this process and before further decisions in disciplinary cases are taken, to inform	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	the AC in appropriate detail and make proposals that enhance confidence in fair and reasonable proceedings and	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	sanc ons;"	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	Less than a week a er said resolu on, the president has decided on 21 March to par ally grant Ms. Hardon’s	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	request for review and revised the sanc on (see pdf a ached). In essence it maintains the dismissal but	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	cancelled the 20% reduc on of pension.	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	In substance it rejects the existence of any procedural flaws and all the arguments presented by the	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	defendant qualifying them as allega ons and reiterates the appropriateness of the sanc ons decided.	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	However, having listed again all the reasons, the president has "decided on an ex gra a basis to par ally grant	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	the request for review“.	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	2- Posi ve decision but falls short of the claims: the knife is only pulled half back...	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	Clearly it is premature to comment thoroughly on this case, all the more since there are s ll two further	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	disciplinary cases open out there wai ng to be reviewed. However it is the adequate to use the opportunity	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	to take stock: have some of the claims of the pe on or the requests of the AC resolu ons been met?	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	On a posi ve side, fact is that it is a rather good news! It goes in the right direc on both for the individual and	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	for the general claims cited above. It represent a tangible proof that the words of the Administra ve Council	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	to the president have not fallen on deaf ears. This decision is all the more remarkable that is the first example	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	under Mr. Ba stelli's rule that the president has taken a step back. Not only was the decision revised to the	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	advantage of the individual but also the le er does not contain any form of threat in conclusion - as most	Mar 25 20:00

schestowitz	24.03.201622:16	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	presiden al communica ons did so far.	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	On the nega ve side, fact is that is far from mee ng the Staff or the AC claims:	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	· first, the offer to use external insight to review the case, requested both by the AC and staff,	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	has been ignored.	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	· Secondly at no stage does it contain any recogni on that the cri cism regarding the arguments or the	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	procedure may have any basis. On the contrary: the decision is dwelt on in all its brutal strength .	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	· Last but not least, a er having already suffered previously a roughshod downgrade - against the	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	unanimous recommenda on of the disciplinary commi ee - leading to an effec ve substan al reduc on of	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	her pension, a er having been publicly named and blamed in diverse media for many evils done to the	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	EPO reputa on, Ms. Hardon remains summarily dismissed from the Office despite the considerable length	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	of her contribu on and her unfaltering commitment to the European Patent Organisa on.	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	In other words, one cannot get rid of the feeling that even if the knife has been slightly "pulled back", offering	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	a temporary sense of relief, it does not hide the fact that it remain deeply "stuck in".	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	3- Le er on behalf of the ini ators of the strike: strike day is to be expected some me in April	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	Yesterday, Wednesday 23 March, the CSC has received a le er on behalf of the ini ators of the	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	strike “Lawfulness at the EPO”, by the designated lawyer (copied below for your convenience).	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	The CSC acts on behalf of all staff and in par cular of the 3701 voters expressing their claims. In the light of	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	the recent development, the CSC will most probably share the lawyer’s assessment of the situa on	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	and comes to the conclusion that by and large the pe on claims have not been met. If social	Mar 25 20:00
schestowitz	dialogue before the strike day does not lead to a substan al progress on the grounds for strike, the CSC will be	Mar 25 20:01
schestowitz	obliged to recommend the termina on of the strike suspension.	Mar 25 20:01
schestowitz	The CSC is nominated as interlocutor and has the final say on this ma er. The last input will also be	Mar 25 20:01
schestowitz	considered by the CSC in the light of calendar in the coming weeks; considering the fact that many staff	Mar 25 20:01
schestowitz	office-wide will be on diverse vaca ons around Easter, one can expect a no fica on coming soon for a strike	Mar 25 20:01
schestowitz	day some me in April.	Mar 25 20:01
schestowitz	On a more personal note, it seems now obvious that the present management has the inten on to survive all	Mar 25 20:01
schestowitz	this at all cost! Staff will need to express very clear messages during the coming process. While the first steps	Mar 25 20:01
schestowitz	may have been done, the goal is s ll very remote: It will need more than just some “show” by the EPO	Mar 25 20:01
schestowitz	leadership that it can learn and adapt to concretely solve the problems at hand, to solve what has been	Mar 25 20:01
schestowitz	recognised by all concerned par es as the deepest crisis of the EPO so far.	Mar 25 20:01
schestowitz	I wish all of you a pleasant and deserved Easter break!	Mar 25 20:01

schestowitz	I repeat: Early Certainty from Search is what my clients need and therefore what I want. Put a higher priority on getting the search reports out early. As such, then, ECfS is for me a good initiative from EPO management. Of course, what my clients don't need, and I don't want, is an early but crap search. If searches are to be put out earlier, something else has to be given a lower priority. But ECfS does this, doesn't it?	Mar 26 16:46
schestowitz	As endless numbers of people have endlessly repeated in recent months, one cannot have all three of I) top quality ii) timeliness and iii) low cost. A compromise has to be reached. Bad management at the EPO will settle for a bad compromise and market it as a good one. Good management will preserve and enhance the EPO's reputation for a top quality search and not squander it. I know that "certainty" from the EPO search is unattainable, but	Mar 26 16:46
schestowitz	nevertheless, as close to that as possible is what I would like, and as "early" as possible please, and without any loss of quality please. In this, my experience is that I can rely on EPO Examiners. But can I rely on EPO management? I'm not sure.	Mar 26 16:46
