yup, that style of subcommittee (along with ones for P law, rules of the

>a. Committee members may appoint others to assist with record keeping,
Kingdom Law and Corpora research,  FAQ  writing, Principality law writing,

members of the Committee, and shall have no powers derived from such
membership. 

Thats flexible enough to account for volunteers and people droping in and
out as needed.

Definately.I think the PRIMARY purpose of the committe would be........
