Index of Subjects Hi Mark! I concur with Leo; all excellent ideas/proposals. We need to create flexible and sometimes changing forums for discussions of issues that arise within the CCN and also provide forums like that for the membership at large (and others) to participate in. This is some of the most promising potential that (in my view) we as an organization can offer. And, if they don't draw traffic or the need for them expires, then we simply turf them, si? Cheers!
