Agreed. All our collective experience with liaisons with numerous other organisations
has surely taught us that informal methods and overlapping participants work much
better than formal liaisons with their slow and sometimes Kafkaesque paper-pushing
mechanisms (even with virtual paper).

Of course we can be formal if circumstances force us into it, but there's
nothing to be gained by making it sound like a good thing.
