<DIV>I think you're saying that your priority is to make sure everyone has a "voice". For me, effective means creating a project that fulfills it's Mission. If NB's Mission is to provide technical infrastructure, and it fails at that, then the process is not "effective"-- even if everyone has a "voice."</DIV>

<DIV>I personally contend that efficiency and speed are not always the most important aspect of a decision-making process</DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>

<DIV>i contend that if an oscilloscope is broken, i'm very comfortable delegating the authority to get it fixed or replaced to someone else. I don't need a "voice" in that. What i need is an oscilloscope. </DIV>
