In this case, I think staff was also trying to be careful and not accidentally offend any of us. Now that I'm officially in my old age, one of the few perks is getting more relaxed about speaking about these small points.<div><br></div><div>Steve</div><div><br><div><div>On Feb 23, 2013, at 11:31 AM, Michael Yakushev <<a href="mailto:m.yakushev@gmail.com">m.yakushev@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">Dear Steve,<div><br></div><div>I felt uncomfortable when such separation was made evident.

During the organization call Friday I was using a print out of the members. It had separate sections for the Volunteer Review Team members, the Independent Experts and the Ex-Officios. My preference is for all of the team members to be considered uniformly part of the same team, leaving behind the history of how we were selected. However, if the team prefers to retain the distinctions, it's certainly workable.<br>
<br>
This is a small point, but since I found myself reacting internally and, to some extent, tripping over it while I chaired the call, I thought I'd mention it.<br>
<br>
Preferences?<br>

Thanks,<br>
