There are many who feel it's an adjunct of a bygone era of growth. Me, I think
some members forgot they are there to foster growth and just want to cut down
ideas instead of letting the proposals in then let time test to see if they
grow to standards.
Becasuse of that view, many innovators do not want to play while some don't
want those waning to listen, to be there because they don't program major
projects. That results in fewer candidates willing to *try* to make things
better, even if in small ways.
I would like to change that perception. What we need, is people willing to
listen to new ideas and help them make a trial of them, with enough info that
another can jump along and try it too.
In the meantime, we face reality. The one 'group' that is by charter to foster
inovation, isn't going too well.
