> Comments:  After discussing with Louisa Kreider, we concluded that maybe it would be more practical in expanding the number of members in the Committee, rather than to include every library all the time. As BIBCO membership grows, if there were a larger number of representatives in the Committee, the rotation would move faster. Thus, member libraries would get their turn faster, yet not obligated to be present every year. Annual representation for every institute may influence some small libraries in their decision in joining BIBCO.

Thank you.
