D.A.N. stands for The Public School committee. It is the group of people that organizes classes and decides which proposals ought to be transformed into classes. Although anyone can organize any class anywhere through the website comments (which we encourage), the committee makes a concerted effort to turn proposals into classes. There is certainly a politics to this - proposals greatly outnumber offerings, popular proposals are not always offered, and conflicts arise. D.A.N. is not a closed group. Every few months one or two people should leave the committee and one or two new people should join the committee. The idea is to perpetually de-institutionalize The Public School, to pass around power like a ball, and to generate a promiscuous set of relations with the world.
