Yes it makes more sense. But instead of going round the issue again,
I'll get straight to the point.

Thing is, I'm a bit unhappy with the admin part of the BRUG at the
moment. The admin part we had at the first meeting was generally
somewhat of a disaster. Many people found that part a real downer. In
the end, we didn't decide much concrete, except to have an admin group.
Problem there was too many voices. My general feeling is that in the
admin group here we have too little voice (note that I'm not saying "too
few voices"). I get the feeling I'm often waiting for a response,
feedback, instead of actually doing something. I'm not getting a strong
decision making vibe from you. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining
here. What I want to say is that I am perfectly willing to take these
decisions on my own, get things going instead of waiting, and still run
things by you guys for advice or extra ideas, but then I *have* to know
that you are OK with that. I know I'm the one who started all this, but
that doesn't automatically imbue me with absolute power. I don't want to
unilaterally disband the admin group we've set up, but it does feel a
touch unwieldy at the moment.

So what I am really asking is: can I please please go ahead and get this
show on the road without the overhead of asking and waiting? You get the
right to veto and stuff, and I'll still run decisions and such by you;
we'd still have an admin group, you'd just have to do less :-)

If this is OK with you guys, I'll start by setting up a new poll for a
_general_ BRUG meeting. I'd move it up by one week though, to the end of
March. Next, Benny and I will put together a proposal for a new website
setup, run it by you and get it implemented.
