[O29] Big Chiefs and the leadership question

 "The October 29th Coalition never bothered to elect a coordinator ("big
chief"). Thank heaven
Chris is coordinating Outreach and Karen was coordinating Permits and Jason
is
coordinating Media and Nick is coordinating the Web Site and maybe Brian on
finances.
I am not sure who is coordinating our other activities."
 To other ends, John puts his finger on what I think is a major
organizational problem with the coalition: Lack of designated and
accountable leadership (i.e. "I'm not sure who is coordinating other
activities."). Perhaps if a "coordinator" of a "coordinating ctte" existed
we wouldn't be seeing suspicions about unnamed "Big Chiefs." John "Thanks
Heaven" for this, and has gotten a few laughs as a result of this amorphous
structure, while a demand that Arlene raised in August for Sign Language
Interpreters has gone unattended. When she posted a request to the list for
follow up there was no one to answer her.
