[games_access] Tuesday meeting summary posted

[d. michelle hinn]

Yes, and the names certainly aren't set in stone. And every committee 
can have co-chairs that define, say, 1-2 goals and one can be 
research through design and the other design research from a more 
theory based approach.

The Industry committee is mainly for things like our outreach to 
industry projects, like GarageGames. While work might be done in the 
research committee for that, the industry committee helps present and 
promote that work.

Anyway, I'm frazzled. :) Can't think anymore about appropriate words 
for committees -- feel free (everyone's invited into the pool!) to 
sandbox ideas on the wiki too. This structure hasn't been cast in 
stone. :)

But it's a good start -- we had to start somewhere so I'm glad we're 
hashing things out. Yeah 10 committees might be a lot but if we 
replace "committee" with "one person" then I think we're at reality. 
Basically I'd like to see every active member take on ownership in 
areas so that they are free to take on new SIG projects rather than 
everything coming "top down" from me.
