[Vision2020] steering committee

[Bill London]

Vision 2020 was established ten years ago by a group of Moscow residents
who had lots more enthusiasm and energy than they now possess.
Vision 2020 originally was engaged in a host of activities.  We
sponsored a community forum, an envisioning (what should Moscow be like
in 20 years), and created this email forum.
To organize and manage those activities, a steering committee of three
persons was created.  V2020 never had a budget, membership, officers,
legal incorporation, or any money.
As I recall the three steering committee members were Kenton Bird,
Priscilla Salant, and myself.  Kenton and Priscilla have taken on a host
of new responsibilities and are not active in V2020 now.
Several years ago, I posted a message explaining this situation and
asking if anyone wanted to volunteer as a steering committee member.
Nobody did.
I really have no idea why V2020 would need a steering committee.  What
should V2020 be doing in addition to this list?
The decision-making for V2020 has been done by the subscriber/members.
When a major issue surfaces, the members discuss and vote.  Actually,
the last voting was about what to do with Stambler (sound familiar?) a
year or so ago--and the decision was to keep V2020 as a non-moderated
list with no controls on membership (for all the reasons we have heard
again).
