KRnetHeads, Some folks have voiced the concern that despite several invitations over the last few months, and the opportunity to volunteer at the recent Gathering, perhaps we should give those people who might want to volunteer to host the 2016 Gathering yet another chance to volunteer.
So, I propose that if you want to volunteer to host the 2016 KR Gathering anywhere other than MVN (Mount Vernon, IL), that you do so before the end of October. This is intended to give a prospective host enough time to get their ducks lined up...line up an airport, get the airport staff on board, check to see if you're going to need a million dollar insurance policy, etc, and run it by the KR Community, which I'd argue is defined by the folks on this email list. I'll be surprised if anybody steps up to the plate, especially since Larry Flesner has already volunteered to facilitate the next Gathering at MVN, with help from others. But we're trying to err on the side of absolute, undeniable, inarguable opportunity. Having said this, I also think that 2017 needs to be held somewhere other than MVN, or we'll get in another rut of going to the same old place year after year, but we'll cross that bridge when we get a little closer. No comments on KRnet are required, unless you are throwing your hat in the ring with some details on your plans to host the 2016 Gathering somewhere other than MVN...
