Yes, yes it does and IMHO no good can come from a plethora of committees making equally as non-binding recommendations to the CD as TB already does now. Sorry but I'm of the opinion that the answer to anything
isn't more bureaucracy.
If we truly want the voice of the people to be heard in a more effective and direct fashion I'd favor more of a proposition type of voting being held every TB election. Should enough members speak their minds about something TB can't or won't address then set a process to bring these matters to the members annually and let their results be forwarded on to the CD if the voters approve. Surely the technology could handle one or two questions beyond the simple ballot we use in TB election at present.
While far from a perfect system IMHO it empowers members more than filtering their input through a series of committees that could dilute the message. That is, of course, only MHO.
