RE: [atlarge-discuss] Short-term goals
Chris brings up a good point: somewhere on our Web page we need a list of
which panel members are leading which efforts, and which members are working
with them. That way members wishing to join in the fun know which panel
members to contact to sign on.

| I would imagine the bylaws are not going to be quickly written
| and approved
| and nothing can really go forward without them. If the membership is to
| approve the bylaws that are written by committee I see several rewrites
| before everyone is happy with them. Since the bylaws define our
| purpose and
| the structure under which we will operate, this should be the #1 priority
| for us or for the panel. Is there already a panel or committee working on
| it?
