I hope that everyone on this list sees himself fit to do that, even if
some people separately *focus* on doing it!

Those are the really interesting part; also, "create or find consensus
between SFC chapters." What we've found in the past is focused groups of
people who care about a particular issue or bill will find themselves
motivated to look for that consensus and publish things like the above.

This would rock awesomely. I look forward to being told what to say to my
leaders by SFC people who are awesome!
I would hope that such a squad will work openly, mostly operating e.g. on
FC Discuss rather than on private lists (unless the traffic becomes far
too large). At least it should be easy to find and join such a squad;
really I hope for lots of involvement.
Having said that, you may also want to make sure that freaks like me who
aren't really students don't derail your awesome plans.
