A little bit of trust wouldn't come amiss either. Although it is too late to present this as something for discussion at the Quanta AGM, there is nothing to stop this sort of idea being discussed during one of the "workshop" sessions as aninformal discussion or debate from which the main points and views raised could be summarised and presented to the committee for discussion, or even for informal discussions to take place at the AGM dinner on saturday night - all I;m suggesting is bounce a few ideas around as initial discussion, sound out the members and officials and start forming views which in themselves won't carry any official weight but you may at least get a feeeling of opinion among the active members present which may simplify or clarify the direction any formal enquiries, discussion of any business plans or requests for help with funding etc might take in the future. It is quite common for informal discussion and 'sounding out' to take place before things go through formal channels to know the best way to (legally and fairly of course) present matters in the most efficient way.
