Great.  There is a lot to do though—we need to agree on everything from the categories for drop down menus to the content that greets people on the top page and main section pages, get the policy statements and stuff together, etc.  Could the folks leading perhaps draw up and share a plan with the elements and suggested time frames so we can all start to allocate some bits of bandwidth to moving this forward?  With everything else on our plates individually and collectively, it'll work better if we have a plan that can be filled in asynchronously in increments rather than expecting some big bang of collective energy just prior to the meeting, no?

Speaking of which, one thing I'd meant to ask long ago about the 'draft' new.ncuc.org pops into mind—is it your proposal to eliminate the individual members pages and ability of members to join groups etc. per the ning?  I actually think the social networking's a desirable feature that might become less underutilized if we can breath some life in with other efforts...

Best
