Chris -- I suggest being a littlecareful here. If it was true that all the
issues were posted by the Planning Committee members (could have happened)
there is no issue. But since that was probably not the case (never has been ,
in my experience) you are running the distinct possibility that the actual
conveners will feel disempowered. That would be a major loss. If there is still
time, I would suggest that (at the very least you invite all the conveners of
the several issues to join the committee. That is where your energy is -- with
the conveners. Use it!
