[Procedures] RE: Procedures Committee

[Daniel Melnechuk]

Hi Richard,

I read them a long time ago so have forgotten them for the most part. 
I would love to come to a face to face sometime to see where this 
committee should go.

Are you running for state com again? A lot is going on before the 
next state com meeting on april 10th. Perhaps it best be to have one 
organized with all the newly elected folks after april 10th?

Dan
