Hi all. For IFSO to be an organisation, it needs a committee, so I'm going to propose one.

So my proposal for the committee is: Me Malcolm Tyrrell Aidan Delaney
I'd second these people to be on the committee.
However, I'd prefer it if the committee was a little larger. I personally think a 5 or even 6 person committee would be in a better position to guide IFSO through the first year, where we should expect substantial growth and attendant workload for everyone running the organisation. Many hands make light work, and so on.
As long as everyone on the committee is committed (heh) to the goals of IFSO I don't think keeping it very small is beneficial.
I'll volunteer to do some of that work on the committee - I have experience with looking after the administrivia of our research group here in TCD, and with organising meetings and conferences - and I'm sure there are at least one or two more people on the list who would also be willing to stand up. Anyone?
