Would anyone besides Philip be willing to work on this concept in the next several days? I would be happy to provide a telephone bridge or we can have Glen provide one. Bruce - is this okay with you and are you willing and able to participate? It seems to me that our deadline should be on or about one week from today to come up with a proposed plan for consideration by the full Council on the list.

In either case I'm happy to work with Chuck and Bruce in writing a short job description for two vice chairs.
Do we need two? I mean, the registrar constituency has the equivalent of three, but we also have a larger number of face to face meetings per year than council does, and also, a much, much larger number of members - the logistical complexity is much, much higher.
Might it make more sense to create one position and leave room for more in the future as we come to understand our needs and capacity more closely?
Again, I agree with the additional structure, it can only help. But I'd like to be deliberate and understand fully what the implications of our plans our. I'm not sure that we've adequately considered capacity and constraints to the point where "two " is indeed the magic number.
This need not be linked to our timetable for electing the chair though if that's too great a rush.
Great idea. We should put some time bounds around completing this task however. We have a habit of letting administrative design tasks hang around much too long. It might be constructive to assign an arbitrary drop dead date to ensure that we continue to move forward in a constructive manner.
