I believe Michelle is currently having internet
problems, at least that's the indication I get from
her LiveJournal. Will contact her at the soonest
opportunity and ask if she's interested. Will also ask
her what she had in mind to do on this list.

No, I don't recall any decisions being made as to
procedure, either. Certainly we agreed that unilateral
actions was a bad idea. :)

I'd like to know as well, as I've heard no indication
here about anyone asking to join this group. If people
have put their names forward, why hasn't this group
been made aware of it?
