This sounds like a good idea to me and I like the way that this is set up.

Okay, could we revive this discussion so we can work out a motion for a
grievance committee? We do have grievances waiting and we NEED this
committee formed now.

I left the original motion below except for the make up of the
committee. Anyone have suggestions for how to incorporate non-AB members?

I personally like Gail's suggestion of membership representing each
region. So, how about:

1 AB chair (non-voting)
1 AB member
4 non-AB members - 1 from each region

Take volunteers with them specifying which region they will be representing
so they are only listed one time.
Have a list for each region.
Take one volunteer from each regional list for the committee.
When the grievance ends, those volunteers go back to the bottom of the list
and the next ones listed go on the committee for the next grievance.

The same would apply to the AB member (or members).
