At this past weekend's small gathering in Orlando we developed the possibility of having a sort of "Jedi Council" to guide the GFA. This would be made partly of the leaders of the existing clubs, Chris (Tampa), Rich (Treasure Coast), and your humble narrator (Orlando). Additionally, the initial guidance team would include two other members of the Alliance made up of anyone that participates regularly on the boards and regularly attends meetings. This would make the council "tie-proof" and spread some of the responsibilities beyond just the three current group leaders.
We need opinions on this idea and nominations for councilors. You can nominate yourself and you don't necessarily need to be in the three comunities listed above, you just need to be a regular face at most gatherings and a regular participant on these boards. In the next few fortnights, we can hold a vote (if there are more than two candidates) and look at the idea of term lengths.
Projects taken on by the board may include writing a mission statement for the GFA, coordinating community service opportunities as a group, organizing meetings and workshops, designing some simple guidelines for new clubs to join the Alliance, building and running a website (in addition to these boards) and writing a FAQ about the group.
