That sounds like a great idea in practice. I'm all for permitting everything that's permitted. But, I don't understand the concept of a partnership minyan in practice. If they have only 10 men and 8 women show up, do they skip the parts of the service where you need a minyan? How does this work in practice (where numbers are limited). Perhaps this is a NY/Israel thing where there is not a problem with numbers.
