    I might have missed it, but I dont remember seeing any proposal to
    have our 4 Brazilian liaisons to Brazil meeting organising structure
    also be CS reps on the Steering Committee. <br>

          <div> if such a thing is indeed going to be put into place
            immediately (I quite liked Andrew Sullivan's suggestions on
            the 1net email list to simply let people take up
            responsibility for things they are interested in for now). <br>
            <br>
            As Jeremy argued, when there are really good candidates, I'm
            ok with people being representatives on both the Brazil
            committees and on 1net, and I can imagine that it would be
            good to have one or two Brazilians on both, to make the
            link. But now that 1net has been delinked in many ways from
            Brazil, surely it would be good to have a broader
            representation there? Even if I am sure they'd all do a
            great job, somehow having four out of five 1net reps being
            Brazilian just doesn't seem like the right balance to me....<br>
