So is a split likely to be adequate? If creating a lot of new classes
necessary? Was a change necessary in the first place? If you can't assess those
questions I can not imagine who could.

SFR has the opposite problem of most regions or chapters; too many people want
to play. Maybe time for the committee to again discuss who to include and who
to exclude as was done when SCCA membership became a requirement to limit the
turnout? Maybe time to amend the charter or make a clear statement in The Wheel
and on the website so everyone knows? Maybe time for individuals to heed the
advice to attend the meetings if they want to protect their preferences?
I can see where people would be perplexed with a steering committee which
sometimes seems to randomly change directions. Rule 1 in organizational
management is to clearly define and document the objectives.
