[grc] Some thoughts about the GRC Conference

[Michael White]

Is the GRC separate and distinct from the other entities?  I don't  
think of it as being supported by Pacifica, for example.  What about  
NFCB?

My reason for bringing that up is that a corporate memory can be  
helpful for these kinds of processes.  Also, if an enduring structure  
exists, and is not too onerous, then there is the potential for  
creating a funding body / mechanism.  E.g. the GRC fund you mention.
