Since this smacks of negotiating "on behalf of" groups that may not be very

I think that each club should definitely handle speaking to TLC and other
organisations on their own.  I do not think that this meta-group should *ever*
speak to TLC, or give TLC the impression that they (TLC) should address the
meta-group instead of individual groups.

What if TLC *wants* a single group to which it can more conveniently communicate,
instead of dealing with 10-12+ different groups?

Trust me, you do not want your club's relationship with TLC or any other org
lumped in with the relationships of a meta-group.

??  What if TLC or LD wants to support LTCs doing train shows by providing
catalogs, K8s, signs, whatever.  A meta-group would be the perfect contact to
negotiate these types of issues, and an IOLTC would be able to monitor for TLC
which groups *are* indeed train clubs (instead of some seedies looking to score
free stuff, for example).

I'm sure that the LTCs that haven't even been formed yet would benefit greatly
from such a group when they do form.

I *do* think that the meta-group should freely share and compare notes about
what kinds of dealings and negotiations have occurred within
