that's not how i remember it, doug...the programming advisory council was made
explicitly advisory, by board language. it had nice people, but it was dead in the
water.

long before the PAC was 'won' by the community groups, there was a moat around
philo. others may characterize events as they like, but i don't see, nor wish to see
the same culture returning.

in essence the CAB addresses MCPB as a whole. the PAC, when it re-arrives, will
likely concentrate on our programming in its particulars...

One other thing. Many people get confused about the PAC as if it is the same as the
CAB.

The CAB is required by the CPB to gather community input, it was given the power to
appoint one member to the PAC which actually had the power to make programming
choices.
