Rob,
I think in your quest to rid yourself of the job of being group leader, you
are trying to solve two issues at once, and that might be scaring people off.
First issue: Keeping the group going as it is
Second issue: Extending the group to do more
You might find that there are people willing to step up to the plate to solve
the first issue, which would let you step down from an overloaded plate.
Secondly, your request went out only to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think you really
need to send it out to [EMAIL PROTECTED], something that this letter does.
I (for one) would be happy to lead the group again, but I am simply NOT in the area
enough to have meetings happen on a regular basis.
The second issue is a lot harder and I think that Ed and I agree that a lot of
these projects are better handled by a few people who really believe in each
project than trying to get the whole group behind them. So I recommend
keeping the second issue in reserve, to be treated at future times
as they occur, rather than make it part of the first issue.
So would anyone be willing to step up and do the minimal task of:
o finding a room every month
o generating a list of topics and speakers
o sending out a monthly meeting notice
and (perhaps)
o leading discussions about projects as they
form until a real project leader emerges?
