I have taken a great many things into consideration regarding these three
committees, including what has been said on the formation lists, by
project members (including AB members) and the selection of volunteers
available.
Two of the committees are *policy* committees, Bylaws Revision and
Guidelines. They will be examining the present bylaws/guidelines
respectively and making recommendations for clarifications, changes and
additions. They will sometimes require heavy discussion and focus. They
are also areas in which it is important not to be *top heavy* in the
representation. Therefore, no individual will be on both (all individuals
volunteering were placed on one or the other, no volunteers were not
placed at all). There will be only one AB member on each of the two
*policy* committees and that AB member will be the chair.
The Publicity/Promotions committee is on the other hand, not a *policy*
committee but a *working* committee to publicize and promote the Project
constructively. (Not that being on the Bylaws or Guidelines committee
won't be work.) The distinction is of purpose not amount of effort.
Therefore, everyone who volunteered for the Pub/Promo committee was
accepted, regardless of position or acceptance to one of the other committees.
Later today I will be subscribing the appointees to the respective lists
and getting the ball rolling.
Bylaws:
Phyllis Rippee (Chair) Marion McReady
Jimmy Epperson Jeff Scism
Roger Swafford Kelly Blizzard
Charles Barnum Dennis Muncrief
(Ginger Hayes also volunteered for this committee and will be added
if the board does not approve her as Nathan Zipfel's replacement)
Guidelines:
Teresa Lindquist (Chair) Alice Allen
Jan Cortez Morgan Johnson
Rich Pump WDS
Don Tharp Cheryl Parker
Lorraine Newsome
Pub/Promo:
Tina Vickery (Chair) Alice Allen
Jan Cortez Marion McReady
Jimmy Epperson Darilee
Kathy Heidel Shelta Shrum
Jana Black Lorraine Newsome
Alice Gayley Joe Markovich
There were two more apparent volunteers for this committee who I had to
ask for verification that that was their intent and who will be added if
that is correct.
