Again, original post is asking about discussion vs. information, and then the format of such.

Do we need to bother with information at all, or just keep discussion?

Again, I agree that sequential format is perfect for discussion, while tiered format is the best for information dissemination.

Not suggesting that we do. This is merely a discussion and a poll whose results might interest the GAFF Team.

In response to the possibility of having a board as a replacement for a site, which is what has been the case since the closure of the GAFF site. In this scenario, it is necessary for a board to provide information dissemination in the absence of the site. Again, refer to my original post, which outlines the scenarios.
