It's interesting how once again the discussion turns
to the little details, i.e. 'the logo' as opposed to
the bigger questions, i.e. the formalising of our
network...
I agree with Paul that we need to formalise this
network in some way or other in order to improve our
effectiveness and efficiency to respond news stories,
trends in social policy, etc. because I don't think we
are very efficient/effective/influential at the
moment. Of course it is great to have this list to
discuss certain issues and share ideas but in true CP
spirit we should move beyond that and try to create a
network that actively promotes and campaigns for
social change (or at least manages to publicise their
ideas and opinions in better ways).
Also, personally I am very much in favour of
formulating our own 'rules and regulations'
independently of the BPS.
Have a good weekend everybody!
