There are significant similarities between the MSCC committee environment. and the one I experienced over the years as a school governor.
It's a similar starting point in that lots of volunteers are involved, so attendance is 'voluntary' and participation in many cases is 'voluntary'.
From that must come a working group with sub committees, and the whole thing must hang together, despite the usual tensions and alliances which exist in committees.
The MSCC works very well, but its rarely plain sailing.
