Setting up subcommittees for the sake of setting up subcommittees?  No.

If it would be valuable, then yes.  But in general, I think we can do a
much better job by realising that the board is not the only entity on
the planet which can/should perform given tasks, and delegate away what
is not sensible to keep on the board (I strongly agree with Egbert on
this point).

But if there are any particular (sub)committees that can be established,
I'm all ears.

We can't fix our board without a pretty big cultural change.  Having
more people talk at the board won't achieve that on its own.

Cheers,
Daniel
