I don't understand the difference. If you and the clerk, in your wisdom, had established a list, it would have to go out to the full committee. It would still have to have approval by some electronic or virtual means so that we could proceed with the meetings. All we're doing is substituting; instead of you and the clerk doing it by yourselves, we're saying you and three of your best friends and the clerk are doing it.
It's the same process after that. It still has to go to the main committee in some electronic format to make sure there's no problem. There's less likelihood of a problem, because four people representing all four parties will have signed off on it--or not--but at least I think you've got a better chance of this being less problematic, and it's the same process once a proposed list has been established. It still has to go to the committee one way or another, whether you do it or whether the steering committee does it.
I don't get it, but maybe I'm missing something.
