Uhm, sorry about the reply without content. As often
happens, the button I pressed and the button I meant
to press, were two different things :-S

In any case; what I wanted to say is...

The people on the committee seem to be a joyfully
good group of people. I hope the results are likewise.

I especially like how the list of committee-men is
devoid of "the usual suspects". Shows we have a
range of good people.

Yours,
