I have a simple question/point that may seem a bit trivial. What does the Marketing team have to offer that the LoCos don't already?
I mean, with no funding it's not likely we will run an ad campaign so we are basically running a system that is in a mild competition with LoCos? Maybe that's why we aren't getting the support we need. If we could pull together an idea that was new, fresh AND didn't step on the toes of the LoCo groups I think we could find ourselves pushing north/south and not east/west. I agree more needs to be done for getting the word out there. However I feel that we are trying to reinvent the wheel and create a redundancy instead of coming up with new ideas.

It's sad that were wasn't more people, and I'd like to apologize to everyone for my absence. Perhaps we need an administrative assistant to organize these things, I asked about the fridge, I have no idea how to add things to it, other promotions such as the loco teams list and the planet would be good too. People's Thoughts? Now I'll just catch the ULCP meeting.
