New tasks are given to the committee by:

* the BoardCommittee* identified by the committee members* arise from search critiques.In September 2004, we discussed the complexity that comes with
all the Standard Operating Procedures, forms, and preplans which we
are producing. Do we need this complication? What difficulty does
it cause for our members? Does it make handling the incident
easier? How can we cut down on our workload?

We reviewed all the tasks that the committee has identified
before. In the process we came up with three questions that can
help us decide whether a task is worth doing:

* Have we ever had to deal with the issue in a real
incident?* Is it about the things we do most?* Can we defer to people that have more understanding of the
issue?
