No, for reasons I explain below.

Valid point, but I think there's a lot of information on each of the
nominees, perhaps we can persuade them to answer your "what will we do
for MACCAWS" question in addition to the obvious fact that they are
prepared to spend their free time on organising and co-ordinating the
group effort.

I think they would probably all accept that they might not be perfect
for the role.

My point, which may have not been expressed clearly, is that in the
absence of any other volunteers or nominations and the need to move
forward should we set up the committee with what we have or continue to
wait?

How would you respond to this question, (preferably not perversely)?

Thanks
