<div>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!</div>
