«anyone else who cares» is an interesting concept in this company : they all 
care ! And they also all care a lot about cost ;)  They may come from all over 
the country and for many of them their participation may have a direct impact 
on the turnover
This may give interesting conversations but is not easy to plan with this 
system.
