Hi Kristian,

Assuming that other people did the same and are in the waiting loop too,
it feels like an unnecessary (potential) loss of resources.

Why not set up something like a Wiki or an Etherpad (there should be free
hosting around) and let people kind of self-organize this first phase
of collecting names and expressing interest? This would potentially lead
to discussions and more people would get aware of this topic in the first
place. I think some decentralized approach is needed here.

My advice is: Avoid bottlenecks wherever possible, have multiple people
in charge with one topic if possible, and give the groups as much autonomy
as possible, including forming groups. The time line is **very** tight.
Therefore, do the simplest thing that does the trick. Postponing certainly
does not help. A basic but working solution now is better than a perfect
solution in a years time.

Best,
Mike
