ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Work of the Summit generally is carried on by individuals and small task groups who identify projects they believe are worthwhile, bring them to the attention of the whole membership, gain membership support for the undertaking and then develop the project. The task groups sometimes ask others in the Summit or in the community at large to help in their work.
