I'd move that we do, only based on the experience of the last committee. We didn't actually end up meeting that often but set out the course at key points in the calendar year.
I didn't detect a lot of disgruntlement from the different members. There were ways to influence the subcommittee either through your own party or through other parties. It seemed to work well last time. I think if we make the decisions there and then don't rehash the whole conversation at the committee level....
I can't remember how long our subcommittee meetings were, but they weren't long. Fifteen minutes every once in a while seemed to set the course, with Tim's help and others. It seemed to work well.
