Thanks Chris.  Since most members won’t be able to attend in DC, and maybe a few are still on the fence, could you share some of the proposed changes you are talking about.  And why they ought to be discussed face to face among a relative few, rather than in writing among all?  We managed to completely reformulate the charter without benefit of any special in-person meetings, so I have trouble understanding how revisions as to ‘little details’ would require the extra commitment. 

Other than small details, are there any significant changes that you, or anyone else, think ought to be made?  Proposals for significant change ought to be understood and debated by all members, not just the few who can attend an in-person meeting.

Hi there,

From my side, which is a purely practical side,   I have been working with the charter for the last six months  there a quite a number of little details that I think need revision.  

These are details that looked fine to me when I revised and voted for the present version,  but as you expect it is quite different when you actually have to start working with it .

I look forward  to the opportunity  to input some of  these details  at the forthcoming meeting in DC.

Regards,
