Okay, ...

Thanks again to John Mark Walker for also volunteering to assist on this.

First a few updates and such ...

As I mentioned before (too lazy/efficient to paraphrase myself, so quoting): " Also, to coordinate arranging for speakers (e.g. so we don't double-book, etc.), for the "off-list" communications, I'd (strongly) recommend we at least Cc: all of those among us that are either involved in coordinating speakers, or may be involved in attempting to coordinate such ... not necessarily for every e-mail, but at least some of the more key stuff (confirmations and speaker contact details). "

At present, these are the list of folks I have as "speaker coordinators" - I'll also send the e-mail addresses off-list to all of us "speaker coordinators", so that we should all have a current list. Not necessarily everyone on the list is highly involved in any and/or all aspects of speaker coordination and/or at all times, but they should at least be notified, as they may at least be sometimes involved in this and/or updating relevant web page stuff, sending out announcements, etc.

I also just (re-)verified that all of those listed above are also on the balug-admin list, so sending to the balug-admin list would generally also reach all of the "speaker coordinators" (but where speakers / potential speakers don't or wouldn't want their contact details, discussions of potential speaking arrangements, etc. publicly archived, don't send that to the balug-admin list, as that list is also publicly archived (for various reasons stated a fair bit earlier)).

I'm presuming that: Ann E. Worley is at least not presently available to us to assist on speaker coordination, but she can update us if she is or becomes available (some relatively recent e-mails bounced, she's no longer subscribed on balug-admin, and I heard she was probably tied up with other stuff).

I'm guestimating that: mikron (Mike?) probably isn't interested/available to assist on speaker coordination, but perhaps I'm guessing incorrectly (he can let us know if he'd like to assist with this ... earlier he expressed interest in assisting with some database and/or web stuff, but I also note at present that he doesn't seem to be subscribed on balug-admin).

More to follow off-list ((re-)confirming Oct. speaker, e-mail addresses of "speaker coordinators", etc.)
