<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">I fail to see why a discussion at a face to face meeting, where less than 15% of the membership is typically represented is less valid than a far more inclusive
discussion that should be had on the members list, amongst the members who this committee will effect.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

those who cannot be at such a meeting due to financial or other constraints. Hence, I would rather encourage all members to have their voice heard where is can reach the entire member base, rather than an extremely small minority.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
