replies: text: A committee is a deliberative assembly subordinate to a larger deliberative assembly.  It seems unlikely that a larger parent assembly would act as quickly as a smaller subdivision; so by definition, a committee is fast acting, when considered in context.  In any case, it is not accurate to describe all committees as inefficient; although, many are.  It would be better to describe what a committee is intended to be, with a note indicating how most committees normally function.  Squideshi 23:59, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

message: I really don't understand how this article could get to the state it is.  It's so bad it almost seems like vandalism.  I mean seriously, it sounds like committees are only used in communist dictatorships and banana republics and are solely used to detriment work.  I'll try to fix it after sleep, if I have time, but this article shouldn't be hard to make a decent stub out of (and it's not like this is a niche topic!).  Tagged with cleanup.

message: Wouldn't the 'Federal Executive Council', as stated in the Australian Constitution, count as a committee? Seeing as it the legal instrument of the Cabinet. Even though it is appointed by the Governor General, it is still convention for the GG to appoint the Council from the leading men/women who can command a majority in the House of Representatives. Thus, de-facto, it is responsible to a larger deliberative assembly.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.253.134.241 (talk) 09:42, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

message: About the new article (2018), without having studied the article that existed around 2005-2010 at all, and as "initiator" of this new "version" after having read Richard Pipes.
Even though "ispolkom" apparently in Russian somehow means "executive committee" - I think we need to have an article on this specific executive committee. Richard Pipes uses "Ispolkom" without explanation, as if it was a name. I wouldn't object to an other name, if linguistically or otherwise required. The main thing, as I see it, is to have an article on this specific committee. As it has a historical significance. However "The executive committee of the Petrograd Soviet" - isn't that a too long article name ? No other name comes to my mind, not currently at least. Boeing720 (talk) 00:12, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
