William, Jeff and Kevin have now all said more or less the same thing. I think that's telling and begs us to think about this approach more. is it time to put the monolithic presentation to bed, excepting exceptional circumstances where we get Big Names in or what-have-you, and instead design around a more fluid, socially-driven style? would it be possible to get 3-5 people for each meeting who would be able to look after an "area" so that there is interesting things to do and some topical structure? this would also help ease the board's responsibilities as it would distribute the planning. -- Aaron J.
