Already it's starrting. Like last year but without Amano to
save us :-O  ?

They aren't asking for any specific help and are saying
they aren't getting enough help?

I've been in contact (with Tom and my replies I copy to DG
and Kropp and the Advisory Committee) and offered help. But
what is that they think they need from AGA that they don't
have?

If none of them have actually worked directly on planning
and producing a convention, then they might be lost as to
where to begin. Still no indication that anybody is leading
them. If they are working by committee, without a leader
and without direct experience, it's going to be a rough
ride.

The first thing they need to do is decide who is going to
lead the effort. If they can't get a commitment to that,
then I think they should reconsider their capabilities.
