Hi,
I will be adding this item to the Agenda.
I suggest that we try to gather nominees/volunteers before the meeting
and that, if possible, we decide during the meting. If we cannot come
to consensus on this during the meeting, we can set up a voting
mechanism where the top two nominees are chosen.
I do not believe there is need for restricting this role to the
council and given the amount of work we need to do, it might be best
if we can find not council members for this work. I suggest that
names be sent to the list, though if people prefer, I can receive the
names and put out a list before the meeting.
thanks
a.
