This seems acceptable to me.
<div>While I do not have as much experience with these groups as many of you do, it seems we are spending an inordinate amount of time discussing these details. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>After the Board selects the official chairs, they have the power to change any of the rules/procedures we have tentatively approved.</div>
<div>I cannot image we will go off the deep end between now and the selection of the official chairs.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My vote is to move forward with the guidelines proposed by Jim.</div>

Should these items wait to be decided until after the co-chairs are actually named ? I think it should be left<br>
up to the co-chairs to propose the rules by which the working group will follow. Perhaps we can start the discussions now,<br>

I’m sorry for the length of the attached, but I don’t believe there’s any way around it. I reviewed the OFA Bylaws and the IBTA Guidelines for suggestions as to how to identify the areas we touched on in our meeting yesterday, and additional areas suggested
by the Guidelines themselves.<o:p></o:p></div>
