Talk:Chapters meeting 2009/Committees
I put these suggestions before I found out you could only be on one ctte... So if interested people want to talk to me at random times about these things, that would be great. --pfctdayelise 00:02, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
- Maybe it's too strict. Would joining two committees really be such a stretch?--Pharos 01:32, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
- How would you do that if they meet at the same time? sebmol ? 09:31, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
- Arrange things so that they don't meet at the same time? I would also be interested in being on several committees... Mike Peel 20:03, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
- We have a very tight schedule; it is simply not possible that everybody be in all committees. Neither would it be a good thing, since we want every committee member to focus on one specific topic. That said, there will be plenty of chances to exchange ideas and opinions on all topics. So even if you're not in a committee, you'll have the opportunity to give your input and know what's going on. guillom 14:19, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Sure, being on all the committees is (or should be) impossible. But is being on two of the committees really too many?
