The idea of "coming together" is not a new one. I have suggested that clear communication and providing substantive information would help tremendously.
On January 29th the BFW news release included the following paragraph: "The Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin board and staff recognize and acknowledge the value of its membership. To that end, in 2007 the BFW will hold a series of "town hall" meetings throughout the state with its membership regarding bicycling issues." I have not heard of any meetings scheduled to date.
