John, welcome aboard. Chris Sawtell has indicated that he can't cope with the role of meeting co-ordinator much longer. He has a lot on his plate (I'm sure he won't mind me saying that on list as he has referred to it several times).
I have done some meeting co-ordination in the past but find myself too busy these days. Subject to anyone else having a major objection - how would you like the job? Regards, Nick.
