[GLLUG] Meeting

[Brad Fears]

Location would be included in the date selection, and all dates would need to be cleared with the contact for that site (such as Roger @ AAI) before being posted to a poll.  As far as organization goes, who organizes them now?  It appears to me that a presenter and the site contact are sufficient for "organizing" a meeting.  What else is left except people showing up?

After those dates are posted, users have the opportunity to vote on the date that best fits their schedule.  When a certain number of votes are reached for a given date (say 10-15), that date is declared for the meeting.  Anybody support or denounce the idea?

Shotgun rules are designed so that somebody takes responsibiltiy for 
making sure there is a location and somebody to cordinate the meeting.
This method would pick a date, but still wouldn't give the location or who
would organize the meeting.  


Just my 2 cents.
