B. Nominating Committee – we met briefly. Committee
for aesthetics – Caroline. Work continues with consideration of the whole
process of nominating. Also under consideration is a listing of “essential
tasks” for meeting so that people can more clearly understand places they might
want to leap in and perhaps we can understand more clearly what is truly
serving our meeting and what tasks may be leading us away from simplicity.
