Is there a way to just tack down a meeting time and then discuss in the meeting? Not everyone subscribes to this list and the discussions taking place can/will influence some people's stance on the issue at hand.<br><br>

Not to insult anyone, but from my perspective I haven't really seen any<br>leader of the group from my perspective. If anyone asked, I was saying<br>that Aaron was the defacto informal leader from the way I saw things.
<br><br>From my angle, the US Teams Project seems to be cruising along just<br>fine. I like the idea of education weeks and trying to do a national<br>event would be fun. For those types of things I think we need a 'leader'
<br>to coordinate the efforts. That could just as easily be done by the<br>project lead. Once the US has teams in each state, this project is over<br>as far as it's original intent. If it evolves into something else great,
<br>but that is a discussion in and of itself (that needs to be discussed<br>soon from the list I've seen).<br><br>However I don't see a leader as having any real power in a group like<br>this as it is really a support group more than an active group. We need
<br>a contact so when something needs to be done from the greater community<br>standpoint one person can be contacted. That person has to be trusted to<br>make the straight forward decisions and have a regular IRC meeting for
<br>the bigger choices.<br><div><br>Joe Terranova wrote:<br>> Then we can discuss not having a leader at the meeting. But if we're<br>> only going to only have a team contact, then we should clarify what
