So, like I said, it might be nice if there were more AIC topics than just "General". We could have one called "AIC Announcements" for meeting announcements so we don't have to sift through the general forum to find them.
The original taxonomy for the Austin Improv forum was based on the Yes And... forums and the Chicago Improv Forum, and the Improv Business & Technical was intended more for general discussion rather than AIC business, similar to Yes And... My rule of thumb is that if it's only of interest to AIC members, it goes in the AIC area; if it's intended for general public discussion, it goes somewhere else. I'm trying to balance my desire to be able to find things quickly and easily with my desire to keep the forums simple and active.
More AIC forums?
Anything about the AIC itself.

Under AIC, I think there should be one for each committee, but here's how I'd break it down:
-General Meeting Announcments, minutes, upcoming agendas
-Advertizing & Public Relations
-Branding (Logo, look & feel of Austin Improv experience)
-Fundrasing & Finance
-Scheduling
-Tech & Website (Back End)
-Hideout Theater & Show Management
-Outreach
-Festivals
-Classes
-Volunteering
-Social

I would consolidate these a little more-
Put branding under advertising, because that's something we'll mostly decide on and then not have a lot of discussion about thenceforth.
Put scheduling under general announcements, since there's not a lot of discussion about scheduling, as troupes generally communicate directly with the committee. Hideout Theatre and Show Management could also go under general- that's seems mostly beyond the co-op's purview.
Outreach and Classes could be combined
We could expand the current OOB section to be Festivals in general, and add boards for specific festivals as needed
Volunteering can go under whatever relevant other section (advertising, general, etc.)
Social can just go under events.
Basically, I think each committee can conduct its business outside the forum, in meeting or through email or whatever, without having to have everyone's input. Then they just post results or questions or items for general discussion on the boards.
