When there is a position of the BC, we will assign a speaker to convey the BC position, if that is suitable to the agenda. However, there are many topics on the Forum agenda either where the BC does not have a position, or where members have different views. In some cases, we don't have positions, but will have questions to ask. In some cases, we have pre existing positions. but in many cases, some topics will lead to members wanting to speak in their individual capacity to ask questions. I'd just like to gather a list of where you want to speak. We'll do a bit of sorting tomorrow a.m. and also identify any other topics. I HAVE INVITED PROSPECTIVE MEMBERS AND OUR NEWEST MEMBER, JON NEVETT TO JOIN US. THIS IS AN OPTIONAL GATHERING, BUT I HOPE YOU WILL COME ALONG. MARILYN CADEBC CHAIR
