I don't have a problem with recruiters having comrel duties or vice |
| 27 |
versa. Just with them being counted as full members of both in terms |
| 28 |
of manpower audits. |

Maybe not, but it might be a good idea to have recruiting drives in |
| 40 |
those areas. Advertise "help wanted here", perhaps even in the |
| 41 |
recruiting department itself. |

And on that note, is there more to the task than just running a recruit |
| 44 |
through the quizzes and checking off that they understand gentoo? |
