(...) I don't think that the LUG vs LTC thing is really relevant. As a prime example, NALUG has done 2 trains shows, intends to do more in the future, but has no intention or desire to form a seperate LTC - we're stunningly informal as it is, and it (...)

A number of us must have all independently decided that a little facilitation/summarization would be a good idea. I think this is an excellent statement of purpose. In lugnet.trains.org, James Brown writes: <snip> (24 years ago, 27-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains.org)

There has been much discussion by groups wondering whether or not affiliation to this org would be beneficial or not. So I think that it would be helpful to discuss such a group's charter.
