BIG GROUP

[cojak]

here's a question.

The broad strokes of the strategy for this group have been discussed openly here.

The detail of the tactics not.

On the one hand keeping your powder dry and away from the eyes of the opposition is good but perhaps of limited value here because of the structure?

On the other, being inclusive and getting the messages out there via this forum and others spreads the message and builds numbers.

Discuss.

Speak to turnover or OldKentRoad for how they started their Private Google groups.

I would suggest that you follow their vetting rules.

AMBER Alert

All those who have kindly offered to help with the above will be contacted in the next couple of days.

I will then circulate to that group and perhaps a few others the objectives and core rules of the Group.

There will be a conference call/video later next week and I'm aiming to launch officially June 1st.

I think funds will be required after that as we will need to establish a bank account.

(I need to think about the VAT as well).

So, this is a last call for volunteers please.

Please include me in the list of recipients of more info when it becomes available. I have mentioned this group to others - any idea when I can point them to something more solid than the three referenced posts above?

Yes.

Before the long weekend, I will publish to all who have indicated a willingness to listen the following:

1. Draft of objectives
2. Draft of strategy to reach objectives
3. Draft of organisation required
4. List of requirement to operate.
5. Draft of how information is made visible to members etc

ALL of the above for discussion and looking for volunteers for certain posts.

Once we are happy - and I will impose a deadline - I think the following happens.

a. we decide how "open" the group is in terms of sharing materials
b. decide that we need to crack on before any cash/banking arrangements are in place

So BEFORE this long weekend
