I must say that while I agree with Ayden that RDS did not work, it might 
be important to keep a member on the leadership team.  This will be on 
fast track, and given our history of being ignored, I think it a bit 
risky to give up that seat on the leadership team.  I agree with Kathy 
that the principle holds and might be even more important on this mad 
dash to get it done....

Having said that, the decision about who to put on theleadership team is 
a tough one.  We need folks behind the scenes helping with research as 
well...
