I think this makes sense since the BoD is a closed system. They don’t get to step back and view things because they’re caught up in day to day things.

As far as existing volunteers go, I would hate to overload them. As geeks we tend to try and get all the things done until we can’t and then we drop a lot. I’d hate to have someone stop working on other projects because they like this one more or they think this is enough for their volunteerism.

I agree that PASS has not marketed its mission statement and goals well. If you check out the By-Laws there is a pretty clear purpose statement. I’m not sure PASS is holding to that, but it is there. http://www.sqlpass.org/Portals/0/PASS%20Bylaws%20–%20June%202009.pdf

I am not terribly opposed to the idea, don’t get that wrong. I was just thinking out loud with an alternate view point.

I welcome more voices into the shaping of PASS so what harm can it do? Plus the fact that the board cares enough to try something like this and talk about it is a very positive thing to hear. That tells me that they care and are invested in feedback. Kudos, Tom for the idea.

I’ll nominate myself to check it out 😉

One thing I would love to see a survey on though? I am really curious what people think PASS is and means? Sometimes I wonder if a better mission statement/goals would help some of the squabbles and debates. I would be interested to see what folks think PASS is all about.

I like Tom’s idea. I say we give it a try.
