[Linux-aus] Re-igniting the Membership Committee

[Kathy Reid]

Thanks AJ for the thought you've put into this, and to Neill for the 
work that you've done around this as well.

I'd be very comfortable with this approach - ie pitching for your idea 
to be developed further, with iterative proof points before an 
implementation.

Are there any other people who'd be keen on being on "Team CiviCRM"?

Kind regards,
Kathy
