> the fact that the current large groups have always been here hasn't meant that people who could opt for a smaller group (2000 Board members) ever venture back into the large groups. I guess my concern is that people who are currently active in the larger groups would self-select a particular group, and once that group became full, the rest of us would then have no access to those people unless they decided to emerge. I really do feel that cliques do form sometimes and people do feel left out; smaller groups would amplify that dynamic.
1. If A wants access to B, but B prefers a smaller group, should B be forced to stay?
2. The concern is that without B the large group would languish? Might it not be able to adapt?
3. Not everyone prefers smaller groups. People from 2000 do venture out.
4. People do sometimes feel left out already. Is it better this way, to feel neglected by people in the same large group, or not even to be able to join those people in a smaller group?
