1. Great Idea!

Lets have a small group of "insiders"
set the table, invites some others to sit
with them, and determine what the "agenda"
will or will not include.

The ABSOLUTELY last thing we want
is a spontaneously self-organizing group
of like-minded people, with a common interest,
making decisions amongst and for themselves.

YES, we need a strong steering committee
to make sure everyone thinks what
our new "leaders" want us to think.
That just screams POPULISM!

Just in case...
