Talk:comitology
This page has problems! The European Parliament, which seems to be responsible for this term has contributed to the confusion.
In a document entitled "Comitology" (sic!) produced by the European Parliament at http://www.europarl.eu.int/igc1996/fiches/fiche21_en.htm the following definition is given:
- "'Commitology' may be defined as a process for adopting measures to implement legislative acts. In this process measures are adopted by the Commission, assisted by a committee of experts from the Member States."
If the intention is to derive this term from the word "committee", it must be spelled with a double "m".
If it were spelled with a single "m" it would suggest derivation from "comity" and a completely different meaning. Eclecticology 21:53 Jan 26, 2003 (UTC)
- I would suggest that Comitology be listed as an alternative spelling as both spellings appear to be fairly common --Imran 22:25 Jan 26, 2003 (UTC)
- mm is rare. Compare [1] with [2].--Henrygb 13:51, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
Rfv-sense "The art or science of resolving matters by means of committees" (as opposed to the technical EU sense). —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 03:57, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
- that sense seems to use the alternate form ("commitology") -- see [this], [this], and [this]. Also, perhaps [this]. My impulse would be to move that definition to "commitology", so that it has two meanings, - the alt form of "comitology" and this one, and leave "comitology" as just the EU thing.
