Selection of members for the Master Plan core team — Judy explained that a few folks had called her
expressing their interest but more had called saying they weren't able to dedicate the time. Judy is calling
everyone that received an invitation letter trying to see if they are able to be part of the core team. It was
decided that not enough folks had replied if they were interested in participating in the core team. And that we
should wait until next week to choose the smaller list of interested parties - this way perhaps more people will
have responded. Ed suggested that when we're ready to create this smaller or core team list, it would be a good
idea if the team members had a healthy diversity of some of the following...
