As you may know, especially if you happened to read THIS POST by Pat Waak on the Colorado Dems blog, a committee has been formed to examine the problems we experienced at the State Convention and Assembly in Colorado Springs last month. Our goal is to pinpoint causes so that the problems aren't repeated in the future.
I say OUR goal because I volunteered to be on this committee, representing the Eastern Plains.
Right now we are getting organized, figuring out sub-committees, and collecting input from county officials, delegates, alternates and anyone else who has an opinion on the Democratic Party events in Colorado Springs on May 16 & 17th.
Besides the local counties I am to contact, I have volunteered to spread the word about the Ad Hoc committee and the opinion collection process via the blogosphere. If YOU want to make a statement, you can either comment here, direct me to a blog post elsewhere, or email me with what you want to say.
If you just want to have your concerns heard, that's fine. Bringing them to my attention will ensure your thoughts become part of the public record and history. What will be even MORE useful, though, is if you add your ideas and suggestions for future improvements and problem prevention.
The collection period will end June 27th. I hope to hear from you! Tell your friends!

As far as what kind of posts tend to appear here on PNA, I don't think it's because of the folks who do the work behind the scenes. For good or ill, different sites sort of grow themselves, if you know what I mean. It does seem like at the moment PNA mostly attracts people who post, and people who seem to mostly read and nod to themselves and move on to the next post without making a comment. (Not excepting myself from that status the majority of the time!)
My opinion is that PNA is an excellent site for finding out about things that are going on. They are also, in my opinion, the primary site in Colorado for ACTIONS, like hosting events and creating campaigns for online activism.
It's been my experience with online groups that no matter what niche any given group creates for itself, it WILL change over time, as new members come and do things a little differently. So who knows what the future holds for PNA?
