Re: [ga-rules] Organizing committee

[Alexander Svensson <alexander@svensson.de>]

Hello Joanna,

thanks for your proposal. I would very much like to
find a way to get the GA to work, and I suppose that
quite a number of people who do so would be willing
to experiment a bit -- considering that the GA currently
gets fairly little work done.

Such a committee would of course also need to have 
the flexibility to quickly react to new issues,
e.g. when the agenda of a public meeting is extended
at short notice. And we would have to set down the
organizing committee's areas of responsibility clearly,
so that the committee can neither exceed it nor be 
accussed of exceeding it.

Best regards,
