Besides that, it was also agreed that it would not be
workable to let
a small committee (council) do everything we would like it to do. It
is unlikely that a small group of people can maintain contact with a
large number of communities, and solve all the issues which might
require more specialized and dedicated working groups. It was
suggested to come up with several councils for all these tasks, but
after a while it was more or less widely agreed upon that it would
probably be most workable to have one council, which would appoint
working groups or committees (temporary or continuous) to take care of
specific issues.
I can certainly agree strongly with this. There are lots of ideas about what
this body should/would/could do, but I don't believe we can devise a single
body to perform such a varied and burdensome set of tasks. Having a body to
create councils for specific issues seems like a very reasonable method of
solving this issue. Creation of such sub-councils would scale reasonably
well, and would be able to make good use of expertise in particular areas.
I look forward to other comments on this issue in particular.
