Hi Justine. In response to your request for a short list, it is going to 
be hard to rule any of them out. Don't see how we can decide not to 
engage in the cultural issues or the participation issues or the roles 
and responsibilities issues. Possibly we might take more of a back seat 
on some of the process, prioritization issues. But I am not sure about 
that either.

I am having trouble imagining everyone jumping up to volunteer for 
everything -- given the stretched resources of volunteer groups. It will 
be another diversion of scarce resources and the rest of the work 
doesn't stop. But, everyone is also intensely aware that, if they are 
not at that table, the discussion will go on without them.  Since trust 
is an issue, who is going to trust another constituency to resolve the 
problem.

So, it is going to be tricky. I don't have a sense about how that 
discussion will flow. Some advance discussion on our part and vigilance 
will be important -- perhaps a bit of a caucus at the meeting itself so 
decisions can be made on the fly.Any info on how other groups plan to 
handle this would also be useful.

Committing any group to take on an issue has to be agreed -- so I 
doesn't seem possible for this process to happen in one meeting -- 
people haven't actually seen the whole issue list Brian is going to 
present.
