<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>I understand where you are coming from but I am concerned that people who have a special skill may then be left out when you may need them. Simpler solution would be to make specific focus groups & 1 person from that subgroup also be in exec committee. Focus groups can then even co-opt/invite people. That way could even make exec committee smaller. <br><br><div>> From: meersbrook-house-request@email-lists.org<br>> Subject: meersbrook-house Digest, Vol 1, Issue 23<br>> To: meersbrook-house@email-lists.org<br>> Date: Sat, 28 Jun 2014 17:24:43 +0000<br>> <br>> Send meersbrook-house mailing list submissions to<br>> meersbrook-house@email-lists.org<br>> <br>> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<br>> https://www.email-lists.org/mailman/listinfo/meersbrook-house<br>> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<br>> meersbrook-house-request@email-lists.org<br>> <br>> You can reach the person managing the list at<br>> meersbrook-house-owner@email-lists.org<br>> <br>> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<br>> than "Re: Contents of meersbrook-house digest..."<br>> <br>> <br>> Today's Topics:<br>> <br>> 1.
