[wplug-board] organization organization

We should take a look at this as well:

http://www.wplug.org/pipermail/wplug-board/2002-January/000122.html

Its the first conversation we had concerning the creation of committees.
There is a list of committees there as well, that we should consolidate
as such:

I can add this.

I think a meeting would be good.  Perhaps after the GUM?

I agree here.  We could make this an item for discussion, and come up
with a list, in person.

Based on what we've done in the past, it seems like the creation of
these committees and the appointment of their respective chairs should
just be a vote by the board.  In the future however, how does one go
about joining a committee.  I think that its important that the people
who make up the committee be rather reliable as far as being able to
help the group.  Should we just allow people to join freely and then the
Chair essentially uses the list of people as a mailing list for asking
for help, or should appointment to committees be based on merit. ie. if
someone wants to be on the GUM committee, they first help out
(organizing, buying food, etc) and then are appointed.
