I was going to volunteer as a community member and as a marketing professional. I feel I could add value to a committee that is reviewing web content (if that is in fact the intent of this committee as I believe). I don't think it is appropriate to put employment restrictions on this or any committee - in the same way that it would not be appropriate for a committee to be formed that requires Sun employment. > Given how infrequently the common bits change, I don't expect > this position to be a huge time commttment. > > TIA to all who volunteer, > >
