Hi

As other fellow candidates have stated TalkBoard needs to be proactive and reactive but how far do you go is the question that should you ask.

Being Proactive. If TalkBoard come up with lots of ideas and implement them then the community might just say, well I am not bothering to put anything forward as they are just doing what they want to do and stuff the rest of us.
It could lead to people thinking that TalkBoard members think themselves as above everyone else.

Being Reactive. If TalkBoard are Reactive then they could be accused of sitting on their backsides waiting for something to happen and basically a waste of space.

The thing is to try and find a balance between both of them and that is always going to be hard as each community members has his/her views on what they think is Proactive or Reactive, yet again “Dammed if you do and dammed if you don’t” comes to mind.
