Onzoma I think you are spot on. Let the committee be given the opportunity to handle its work after all we have technical people like Denis Aliga who can assist in developing the concept note. Lets not worry about the speed. After all every ones input will be sought on the net and no one is obliged to mandatory be a member of this Club. Though I would advise those who have ears to hear and those who have eyes to see that this is a revolution. So we either join or we don't
