[bestbits] Best Bits MAG nominations for your approval - URGENT

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

I am generally fine with a group doing a good job in an unstructured environment continuing for an additional year. So sure why not, as long as a major part of their task includes insuring we don't get back here again next year.

Btw who its on this steering committee we are endorsing the continuation of ?  Apologies if I missed it. Or if it is posted another obvious place I can't find. (I did check the website quickly)
