Hi, Steven-

Which of the following proposed committees would interest you most? Notes found below committees in non-bold:

--Website help for Enlighten the Vote
   What kind of help does she need?  Additional content?  Site design?

--See if we have people who want to work with Rauhauser (I might myself, although I have distaste for the Democratic Party in this state)
   We need to find out more about what he’s doing -- I will follow up with him

--Design a structure that will connect journalists and scientists for assistance in preparing individual articles
   Libin?

--Come up with a replacement for the Workshop blog, which is inert and uninteresting and will break down when we have a large number of participants, which could occur overnight
  See if Lawson-Duck is interested in this--I think it needs a younger person to create something more lively, maybe White or Breslin?

--Write up the specs for the widget software, so it can be programmed. (Scott and I will take a stab at this, but some experts would do better.)
   Technical advice: Catalano, Davidson, Joe Neal
   Specs/Requirements: Robinson, Mintz, Ellis

--Write a constitution for the governing network (need to define that entity more broadly, I think we have concluded)
   White, Breslin?

--Assume leadership of the Africa Project
     Commu?  Also, there are a couple of people in the Lancaster/Fulton family who have relevant experience, yes?  One of them might be more likely leader than Commu?

--Membership coordination
   Kari Havoth, J. Plavier?
