getting the committe together

I e-mailed the group three times between our first meeting in November and the first week back in January. I have only heard back from half of the group, and it's getting frustrating. The responses are not answering the question of when they are not available to meet either.

Already, my recommendation for this process is to have a smaller group because seven seems like an unnecessarily large group to coordinate schedules just to have a few more opinions. I think the group should be a group of four or five individuals who understand the time commitment ahead of time.
