Even, to take Spear’s example, going out to dinner in a group takes an organizer. Someone needs to call the restaurant to see if there is room for all and make a resevation. Possibly transport needs to be organized. Possibly the cost needs to be covered. Possibly we need to make sure we don’t take someone who is allergic to shellfish to a lobster-only place. Someone needs to organize even that, and depending on the circumstances it can be a simple phone call or a daunting endeavor.

This is perhaps going a bit overboard. A little bit too “formal” – what I had in mind was more like “Let’s go eat Chinese, or Mexican” or whatever.

If you want an organization with all the trappings, rules, regulations, policies, do’s and don’ts… one already exists. No sense in trying to reinvent the wheel.

What I’m looking for is much more similar to an informal gathering of minds and people. More like a clubhouse instead of a boardroom.

We are not a group of professionals who deal with each other at arm’s length. A good number of us know each other and can call each other friends as well as colleagues.

Yes, I would assume this. As the person who authored the idea and announced it I would think it was your project and I would consider it presumptuous to come in and “take over” your plan.

Craig didn’t author an idea – he proposed that perhaps it was time for another organization. He didn’t say “I’m going to form a new webmaster’s group” – unlike J Todd, who did. I haven’t dug up the posts Craig made yet but I am quite certain he did not intend or imply that he would be leading a new organization.

Are you telling me when Craig posted the initial call to form a new group you thought he was NOT going to have a key role in it’s formation?

Let me put it this way. I knew a year ago when he left the GPWA that he would not be particularly interested in forming another organization where he was expected to play a key role. I knew he hadn’t changed his mind either – because the first thing I told him is that he would have my help but that I would not take up any role, and his response was along the lines of “I thought you were going to run this organization” LOL.

Basically, it was a joke – an inside joke if you like – because we both knew neither of us would volunteer to take a leadership role.

So in short, yes, I knew.
