>>I too have wasted too many years of my life on committees. The idea of an
international and remote committee horrifies me as to the likely
difficulties to which it could give rise. Squabbles and rancorous time
wasting correspondence come to mind.<<
I see your point but it does not have to be like that, there are
international organisations which have teams that succeed through sound
management, and a will to work together.
>>I would tend to the view that we should have a 'doer' who will seek advice
and help.<<
Ah but what happens when the "doer" doesn't ?
