Yes, we should learn from orgs but not adopt everything. The proper balance
is key. What follows is some ILTCO organizing committee experience.

On the topic of conference calls, back before the dotcom bubble popped, it
wasn't unheard of for companies to donate their conference call facilities
complete with 800 numbers to call in on. Those days are over. But LD is
cheap, and there is a free service that does conference calls for you, first
come first served, you just have to make an LD call to their switchboard.
(so each caller is paying LD to that number)

The ILTCO organizing committee uses this to great effect, along with a
parallel AIM or Y! chat session where notes are taken and URLs (to samples
etc) can be posted for quick reference during the meeting.

I'm not so keen on actual phone use (all I have is a cell phone), but using
AIM, MSN, ICQ etc... is propbably the best way.

Piggybacking meetings onto fan events is sort of OK but there are always
some people missing, we have found. But it's better than nothing and there
certainly is no budget for special meetings.

Due to my work, it's would be easier for me if we did this during or after a
lego event.  It's easier for me to get one leave period than two

Requiring stuff to be mailed/shared in advance (there is a natural website
already in existance to share stuff for LDraw) and that people read it seems
a must.

I would also suggest setting up a Yahoo Group or similar.  In other words
somewhere where only the committee can post but all can read.  Any outside
discussion can take place here
