my family events today, I returned to watch the last segment of the LNC meeting, which includes the creation of the committee to review how we're using Facebook. I continue to have grave concerns about this. We are not changing the status quo. When most organizations make a giant mistake due to some sort of internal failing, they send in a "crisis management" team to take immediate action to handle the situation - to handle the external marketing and the internal procedure improvement. Apparently, we just create yet another committee to study it.</div><div class="m_-1776109883269358664gmail-m_-6887183090838386891m_-4085069593073077003m_1193763100235167953m_-1672724112051928032m_5654595226781217987m_-4990866763302710639m_2370203365192539953m_-7182926306004255868m_-2299586968420984221m_-7857201425737300321m_-5626744811770763595m_-1246425842614778822null"><br class="m_-1776109883269358664gmail-m_-6887183090838386891m_-4085069593073077003m_1193763100235167953m_-1672724112051928032m_5654595226781217987m_-4990866763302710639m_2370203365192539953m_-7182926306004255868m_-2299586968420984221m_-7857201425737300321m_-5626744811770763595m_-1246425842614778822null"></div><div class="m_-1776109883269358664gmail-m_-6887183090838386891m_-4085069593073077003m_1193763100235167953m_-1672724112051928032m_5654595226781217987m_-4990866763302710639m_2370203365192539953m_-7182926306004255868m_-2299586968420984221m_-7857201425737300321m_-5626744811770763595m_-1246425842614778822null">1.
