Barbara is right on: One of the things that I've always felt distinguishes designers is that they've never let hurdles like no company money or a lack of respect get in the way. They are tenacious, capital T, and god bless them for it.

Dieter and I used to come back from the design shows shaking our heads in admiration at how starved the designers were for information -- often from within their own companies -- and how grateful they were to get it.

I think what we're hearing is that designers want more information, not less. Yes, occasionally all heck will break loose as people read and respond to what the EB is doing. But that's how you encourage involvement. Cutting people off (which I know is not what Andy or the EB has in mind, by the way, so save your hate mail :-)) from the info flow only serves to disengage them from the process, and ultimately they will usually give up.

As a start, might I suggest posting the minutes of the Designers Council executive board meeting and like meetings to this listserv.

Also, since publication of the Route seems to be, well, erratic, I would suggest pre-empting that and posting chapter reports direct to this listserv.

All DC members should subscribe to this listserv, and would have a good reason to, assuming some of this info is regularly circulated here.

Mike
