You're assuming that a lot of the processing gets done at a decision meeting, which most groups that are successful avoid. We try to address concerns before a decision meeting, via committees and discussions with individuals who might have issues with a particular proposal. We have used proxies with no problem, usually when it's a slow time and people are away on vacations. Not that we do this often, though. We're all living on site, so we don't have the same issues of travel as a developing group might have. Still, if the issues are hashed out in other ways, the general meetings are much more efficient. -- Liz Stevenson Southside Park Cohousing Sacramento, California lilbert [at] comcast.net Sponsor me shaving my head for childhood cancer: http://www.stbaldricks.org Click on "Sponsor a Shavee" and enter my name as written above.
