Main Topic: Meeting Reorganization
This month, we will devote our attention to the topic of simplifying our Meeting structure. We find ourselves with too many committees and too few people to staff them. We are looking for creative ways to do the work that we need to do without overburdening ourselves.
Please read a (rough) draft proposal that emerged from the January meeting of the clerks and conveners of our various committees. This will help structure our discussion.

Committee Reports:
Please read the reports, but they will not be the main topic of our discussion.
We will, however, address any concerns that the various committees think need immediate attention.
