I think you said it about right -- it's not wise IMHO to try to push people
into thing, but rather to be available to help set things up when the time
is right.

I tend to think that anything which can't be discussed openly in an open group
probably shouldn't be being discussed in private groups anyway, so I wouldn't
see anything wrong with an open group for something like this, with of course
the option for people to take spin-off threads off-line as appropriate. What
really makes me uncomfortable is the thought of a private mailing list or
group that only a few people could read or see or contribute to (especially
see). Even a private group would need an archive (for legal reasons, at the
very least) and I would hate to see something that was once private suddenly
become public accidentally somehow (say, someone forwards something on purpose
or accidentally, or is disgrunted, etc.). A group which is completely open
and publicly readable can't have anything to hide.
