Andy,

I think more details about the Designer's council would be very helpful.
I've been a member only since last July but have been a designer for 10
years. I would like to know what is going on in my region (North Texas)
and would like to become more involved.


Regards,

Ron Scott C.I.D.

Mike makes a great point here. Thanks for taking the time to write,
Mike.

So let me do a straw poll:

How many of the subscribers to this Forum would like to see more detail
about Designers Council affairs, progress and thinking?

How many would like to see Chapter reports circulated on this Forum?

Include your own opinions if you would like to add to this discussion.

If there's enough groundswell, I'll talk to the Exec and see how we can
implement it, then make a recommendation to Jean Hebeisen and Christ
Poulsen.

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
