(to Iridescent, waaaay back above) You are probably the best person to actually propose such reforms.  While I grant that you don't have the time, those of us currently trying to do the committee's day-to-day work are hamstrung by that workload.  Even assuming that actual membership on the committee doesn't impose a myopic outlook on its structure and problems, the workload is both a split in attention and loyalty.  What you have that no one else has (except the sitting committee and recently retired arbs like Coren and John Vandenberg) is an insider's view of what the workload actually entails.  On that basis, I think you have the best combination of credibility and support, if you can find the time to put a proposal together. Cheers,
