Hi Susan - Just so we're clear, that was my going-in assumption and I've kept that throughout the analysis. Any of the structures I've outlined can be focused strictly on administrative support (just like any of the structures could be corrupted to reach beyond that focus). That's why I suggested that we do this in two steps: 1. agree on the general direction to take 2. task people to write the specific chartering documents and publish them as a bcp, including a last call Since the devil is in the details, this lets us focus in on making sure the details are correct and the community has seen those details and agreed to them before they become policy. First step, though, is some feeling from the community on which path to pursue. Make sense? (BTW, I'm more than happy to answer questions about these various mechanisms, processes, functions, and other buzzwords in the report ... I tried to keep things clear, but the legal world isn't always perfectly clear. :) Regards, Carl > > >>If people want that possibility described, please speak up - Carl has the > > >>pen ready.... > > >> > > > > > > > > > Yes that would be helpful. > > > > Well, I don't agree.
