Working Group

The PaB Working Group is a group of PaB community members, appointed by the PaB community for a period of half a year at a time, and responsible for the day to day coordination and for making recommendations to the PaB community on the direction of community development.

The first 6 members were chosen, in October 2009, in the following way.  An email was sent out to all guardians, to ask for volunteers to serve on the Working Group.  12 individuals responded.  In the group of 12 we discussed the kind of tasks that needed to be done, and the amount of time it would probably take to do them.  After further consideration, 6 of the 12 individuals told us that their time was too limited to take on the kind of commitment that we were looking for.  The remaining 6 then formed the initial Working Group:Eliza Madrigal, Eos Amaterasu, Genesis Zhangsun, Maxine Walden, Pema Pera, and Storm Nordwind.

Here is the initial way in which the Working Group Members have divided their responsibilities:
