The Discussion Forum in the VPG members section of the website enables any member to ‘Start a Discussion’ by creating a post about an issue that interests or concerns them. Other members can then join in the discussion by ‘Replying’ to the post by adding their comments.
My proposal is that a couple of months before the next meeting of the PPG Committee an email is sent to all VPG members inviting them to either reply to existing discussions or start new discussions.
Then shortly before the next meeting of the PPG Committee, we (the Committee members) scan the current discussions to look for issues that could become agenda items.
Does this seem sensible as a start?

Yes. Maybe a summary of the contents of the discussion forum should become a rolling agenda item for committee meetings, so we’d have a report on the general points raised and then focus on the most salient.
