Oh, wait ;) Seriously, I'm with Paul- a designated group of volunteers who actually enjoys and wants to do this would create a lot of value. (Casually engaged people like me would get a lot out of it.) But making the board *more* of a working board is not a healthy trend. Except in a few very, very key areas (finance, mostly) the board should be about identifying issues and encouraging people to work on them, not doing things themselves. Luis
