[WEC] Inviting select people to join us in our "designstorming"?

[Jack Roberts]

I agree with Kitty.
 
In our previous conference call I agreed that having one person added to
replace Charles Snyder as a neighborhood rep made sense and I stand by that.
Otherwise, I think adding people disrupts the delicate chemistry we have
achieved and is not worth it.

Dear fellow WEC members,

In case it isn't clear, the suggestion is NOT to invite new permanent
members into the WEC.

Rather the suggestion is to invite some select voices one time only to the
March 13-15 meeting to add their brainstorming ideas for solutions to those
we generate.

I believe this suggestion was generally supported by those at the Land
Use/Transportation Committee yesterday: Kevin Matthews, Larry Reed. Ed
Moore, Rick Duncan, Gary Wildish, Pat Johnston, Rob Inerfeld, Sue Wolling,
Rob Zako, and intern Christo Brehm. Emily Proudfoot and Mary O'Brien also
participated in the meeting, but had to leave before this particular
discussion item.

Also, the list of particular names is intended to be suggestive. The Land
Use and Transportatioon Committee did NOT agree to a specific recommended
list of people to invite or not, although we did discuss the pros and cons
of inviting particular individuals. That said, Pat's memory of the people we
talked about inviting generally matches mine. In any case, it would be up to
the WEC as a whole to decide who to invite or not invite, if anyone.

Thus I think there are two questions:

    1) Is the general idea of inviting non-members to participate in the
March 13-15 "design storming" activity a good one?

    2) If so, who specifically should be invited?

Thanks,
Rob Z
