As long as it does not conflict with that principle, individual committee members may communicate in-between meetings with anyone (e.g., each other, resource persons, the liaisons, the facilitator, members of the community) in order to advance their personal understanding of issues and perspectives, test tentative ideas, resolve interpersonal misunderstanding or conflict, and coordinate on Committee administrative matters.
