Yeah, a working group sounds like a good idea, though that's exactly what happened last year. We've obviously learned from last year's experiences though, and I'm sure it'll be a rocking success. If we're looking to have an OGB representative on that group, I'm happy to be involved. As an aside, I don't think we need to restrict ourselves to governance only discussions (at least in my interpretation of what governance is). I'd like us to be a little more forward thinking, using common sense to figure out how best to encourage the growth and well being of the community. There's absolutely no reason that can't come from the membership itself (or board representatives acting as members), but I think the board should at least be in part responsible for seeing opportunities (strategic or otherwise) and pursuing them. > I'm not sure what the exact wording is, since my order of The Standard > Code of Parliamentary Proceedings has not yet arrived; but here goes: > > I move to form a committee to coordinate the contributor awards. > > Please record my vote as in favour of this motion. Screw formalism - sounds like a good idea, I'm all in. Glynn
