down to three questions:
* How
do we communicate/operate internally?
* How do we communicate/operate in relation to other
committees/the rest of the Party?
* How can we improve our product/processes?
* Ask
for feedback from delegates, not assume that whole CCC knows
what's going on/what other committees exist.
* People who are involved in other Green activities could forward
material/inform CCC when it seems appropriate.
* Huge discussions – we should schedule
