I have a few questions: What sort of things are to be produced? What is this new organizational structure's relationship to AoIR working groups? Is AoIR going to become some sort of research consultancy, where AoIR produces research instead of the members producing research? What is the audience of this research? will it be vetted? by whom? Who decides who gets to be on which project, given the natural tendency for some projects to be more interesting than others? How does this fit with the mission and bylaws?

1) What, exactly, does the exec have in mind?
2) Wouldn't it have been a good idea to discuss the formation of such a group on the air-grad list *first*, to see if there's interest in it? (I haven't seen any such discussion, which is why I'm asking...)
