I nominate Abigail or one of the other more active MEGs to contact 
Kelley, Michelle, Grey Wolf, and whoever else on the potential list 
was a MEG. I call for a volunteer to contact the others.

I suggest a three-day response deadline from them, at which point if 
we haven't heard back, we assume no interest. /END QUOTE

I do not think that candidates for FAQ should be treated differently 
if they're already on MEG. I intend to post on this (the MEG issue) 
at a later point in time (maybe sooner than later, actually), but I 
might as well chime in here.

In my opinion, every candidate should be treated the same, as in, 
contacted by the same individual, and sent the same letter. No one 
should be given an "in-crowd" treatment because they're already on 
MEG. 

And in my opinion, it should be a non-MEG member who sends those 
letters. Whether or not this group remains under the thumb of MEG or 
not, we should at least be clear in presenting a facade of slight 
independence, i.e. membership in one is not the same as membership 
in the other; MEG's and non-MEG's should be treated the same around 
here.
