What city do you live in?
(I'd thought you were here in Ann Arbor).

Kevin lives in Belleville. It's not very far away. It is a free call to Ypsi,
but not to AA.

I used to read the inbetween conference, and if you're stuck in a bind, I'll
help. But I leave tomorrow for three weeks so if someone else wants to do it
or whatever, just let me know!

I would like to propose a "membership" conference where the membership
commitee and others could discuss matters.
I would be the principal fairwitness, with possibly one or two to be named
at a later date.

Are t here enough isssues relating to membership to warrant a whole
conference? You could use the grexnews conf...not much going on with
the newsletter that that conf couldnt be broadened

First, the grexnews and newsletter cfs are two different cfs (with not
much happening in either). However I think that membership issues are so
entirely different that it should have its own cf if just an item in coop
does not suffice. I would suggest starting with an item in coop, and see
how matters develop, and a cf could be started if it seems necessary. What
are the different items you have in mind for a memberhip cf, omni?

The context of #255 is that Jim has just been appointed membership
chair of Grex. He wants a place where he and any helpers can talk
about strategies for increasing membership, if I read him right.
If he thinks a conference will help him do his job, it seems like
a reasonbable request to me.

I suggest that Omni take over the "grex needs to move" conf...that
conf could be renamed the "Membership Issues" conf, of which grex's moving
would certainly be relevant. As it is, all the items in the "Move" conf are
linked from elsewhere. Combining make sense, as grex already has too many
empty confs with two or three items in them.
Makes more sense than to merge with grexnews I guess..

Another cf relationship is with the publicity cf. Most items from a
membership cf would be appropriately linked to publicity. There is
another option for a place to start (the publicity cf also needs some
new life).

kerouac seems to have some set idea that omni needs to take over an existing
conference for this, rather than be able to start a new one? Why? Why not
start a new one? Sure, moving and membership are somewhat related, but not
that closely.

#261....because there are too many confs that are empty or dead
or both. Having too many too-specific confs takes up space and
confuses people as to where certain discussions are going on.
There has been some grumbling over the "grex needs to move"
conf, which seems to have been created solely because two or three
people dont want to read coop. Combining it with
membership gives it more definition and purpose.
btw, Ididnt even know there WAS a publicity conf, that could
be combined with grexnews...it doesnt look good to have empty confs
littering the place.

The move conf. is going *die* as soon as Grex is safely moved, so it would
be pointless to combine it with some other function.

ah, but if it was combined, it wouldnt have to die! A purpose!

Better to create new conferences with a new purpose and let old ones die, than
to redefine the mission of a conference to keep it alive.
Grex needs to do a better job of killing and removing old dead conferences.

There are a lot of good ideas and loads of good information in some of
those "dead" conferences. They are like books on the library shelf that
are currently neglected, but no less valuable for that. What criteria
would you use for burning some of those books, and not others?

a long time a go i proposed a library but as a subdirectory nstead
of a collection of conferences. it would be to the benefit of all (imo)
if (at least) the technical stuff were always available.

Well, gee, rane, I'd send mail to the FW's of the storage conf, asking them
to link all the items before I killed my conference. No books are burned!

Re #265: correction. Grex needs to do *some* kind of job killing & removing
dead conferences. Currently it does nothing with them.

More cataloging, reshelving, indexing, etc., would all be very valuable,
but those are things that are nearly unknown in this medium. At best, all
one gets are "links" - good or bad. I really don't suggest keeping
*everything* - just those things of lasting value. But, try to find a
volunteer to sort and choose...hah!

That way anyone who has ideas about membership and a new recipe
for chicken marinara can just post one message!

I don't think you're getting what I'm aiming to do here. The reason I would
like a conference just for membership is so that discussion of issues will
not interfere with or get sidetracked by, other items in the same conference.
Space is not an issue, or at least I didn't think it was.
