I'll take that one step further and say that beyond being an initial 
charter group of folks, the CWG really should be an elected body and not 
beholden to the Board.  I'd really like to see our first task be to 
figure out a process for elections, turnover, and make it generally 
known that we're not here to do things that the board didn't want to be 
the mean guy and do - because I think that is how a lot of people are 
perceiving it... basically we need to make sure we are truly being a 
Community working group, emphasis on the word community.
