Once again, I find myself in agreement with you.
We should indeed give the PC more independence and
not attempt to micromanage how they achieve their
goals. Suggestions? Yes! Micromanagement? No!
Bill Norton's post was a fine example of creative
thinking and has some suggestions that the PC can
chew on. But as he said himself:
The Program Committee should be free
to set things up this way
Note the word "free".
