I think SLOBs needs to make the decision about membership (and even whether or not to form the committee) but getting the names of potential volunteers in advance is a very good idea. We may decide that we need to draft a few community members that don't volunteer as well, but I think this has been a topic that has enough interest and passion associated with it that we shouldn't have a problem finding people. > > In any case, I think we should meet on Friday of next week. > > Okay.
