There was an attempt a while back to create a forum for LUG leaders to work
together and interact with the LA committee. It was in the form of a mailing
list at that time, but could be something else. I would far prefer something
like that to swelling the committee with geographical representatives. Do we
need geographical *representation* to pursue LA's goals (ie. the community's
goals) or do we need better *communication*? I'd suggest the latter.
