Title: RE: [Chtechcomm] Tomorrow night - CH Tech Committee Meeting

Hi folks,

I won't be able to make it tomorrow evening, best of luck to everyone.    If I were to make suggestions on how a new committe might improve, I'd suggest:

- Limit the size to 7 or 8, or increase the frequency of meetings (having a roomful of 12+ ppl for 90 minutes a month always seemed like too large a group)
- Set clear goals for the group (it seemed like a large part of the tech. meetings were spent trying to read the tea leaves of the town council)
- Set some process of regular accountability for recommendations (ie, of last year's suggestions how much progress has been made).  I feel that an informal report card would lend a sense of consistency to the tech committee, put some pressure on the Town Coucil to implement initiatives, and enable some continuity/history to new technology committee members.
- Allow the public a forum to suggest tech issues this new committe might consider.
- Enable the ability to solicit expertise from the community w/o requiring fulltime membership

Take care!

Aris

We can decide at our meeting tomorrow whether there is any reason to
continue beyond tomorrow.

Hey, Ralph,

Well, maybe it won't be our final meeting.  Will thinks we meet through
June.  It was a bit unclear.  The notion from the Council seemed to just
dismiss us - period, but maybe the intent was to let us finish out the term.
