I would agree with this - I believe that the whole point of Tim's effort is
to help us get things done - not to give us more to get done :)

Over the last little while, we have been doing a great job of achieving
consensus on topics, but then things seem to stall out from there. (Best
practices anyone? etc.) So to circle back to what I promised in my note to
Elana - I completely concede this point in the interests of moving forward.

Now the big question is, how do we implement these processes as being
representative of the views of the constituency without having a process in
place to ratify and accept them? <duck>
