[Board] hangout / work party reminder

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi Jody,
It is a valid concern that actions should only be allocated for tasks 
that have backing to complete them.

Maybe allow read-only access to the community, and provide community 
with ability to add comments on the document, or comments via an email list?

Cheers, Cameron

PS, I do like your early draft in the wiki that you have shared.
