We have had several requests to initiate a private discussion group for the council members. What are your thoughts? How can this be best used?

As discussed, I would like to see a general discussion that could include all from the conference - test labs, council members, reseachers, associations, etc. A subset of that could be set up with a password that would allow only BB/ SB council members, for matters pertaining to that group.

Another issue is how "open" the latter is - can it be set up as attorney/ client priveledged, with copy to John Peterson? With all the lawsuits, I know that many members are sensitive to saying anything that might be misconstrued, taken out of context, etc.
