Benefits/risks, drawbacks, liabilities

Financial risk

-2s, let’s hear their objections

Would it duplicate something that’s already being done?

Would it change the organization or how it does business?

Would it complete with other non-profits that belong to PW?

Where would it live and who would run it?

Where are we now in terms of status and why are we that?

How did the questions come up?

The committee recommends a panel discussion with a neutral moderator (Laura Brogden), timekeeper (Florence Bucierka), one neutral person to provide technical information, one person who supports the proposal and one person who opposes the proposal. We feel it should be a highly structured presentation during a regular meeting as the main educational part of the meeting.
