Yes, I agree. But I think Matt should have the first chance to take it, or
turn it down simply because he has worked with the people before, and would
carryover a working knowledge of what to do (and more importantly, what not
to do). But by all means, he should have a team, committie or whatever there
to support him. Every team, committie or whatever needs a leader to actually
acomplish somehting and that is the role that I think Matt should play (as
long as he wants to). Now if LUGOLA or SCLTC get a more and deeper working
in it (they would be BW's version of Wamalug for example) then I am all for
it. You do not have ot sell me on this idea, as it is a good one - but a
head person is needed IMHO, whoever it is.

LOL! That would be classic! But we would need some Duplo and LOTS of cameras!

I think another reason for this is so we can have a person to have people
contact. I think saying 'Go talk to that person' is better than 'Go talk to
somebody in that group over there'. And having one person year after year
would provide stability unlike a revolving door (or in this case - seat).
And even if you had a group run it, the makeup of that group would (could?)
change lessening the stability of the group (IMHO). (and this also goes to
the snippage that was below)
