How do you all feel about mission statements for GPAX?
Here was a suggested one that we might tweak to more suit the fluidity of
GPAX and if
we were to insert it in our proposal 238 to accept gpax as a committee
during this week's 
discussion period, it may make a difference on whether gpax is formally
acknowledged by the NC.
Peace,
joni
p.s. read it over, tweak it, tell me what you all think?
I would like to see a detailed mission statement in regards to GPAX.
