Hrm, actually, one thing that no one has addressed: Don't you think the idea
of having to speak to someone locally to find out about LA is a bad thing in
itself?

I think that is a bad thing. We should not have to do that. LA should be
properly reporting to the community via the mailing list, announce list and
minutes. This year, the committee hasn't delivered on this all that well.

I'm sure that all this energy will make sure they do so this year!
