Here are four quotes which might help you decide whether to get involved...
A committee should consist of three men, two of whom are absent. (Sir H B Tree)
A committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours. (M Berle)
Meetings are indispensible when you don't want to do anything. (J K Galbraith)
A camel is a horse designed by a committee. (Sir A Issigonis or Vogue magazine)

Basically, unless you have hours to waste and don't mind getting nowhere...forget it!
