I'm also involved with Stereo New England.

I don't see that there's anything to settle.  If the participants of Stereo
New England don't like the way it's being run, they're welcome to try to
change it.  So far, no one (to my knowledge) has suggested that, except
perhaps your suggestion of it right now.

Personally, I don't have a problem with letting the people who put the most
time and energy into it make the decisions.  If it weren't for them,
there'd be no activities at all.

Meetings are generally held in the auditorium at GTE/BBN in Cambridge.  I
think there are normally 4 meetings a year.  As far as I know, Dick Koolish
has been posting meeting announcements to this list regularly.

George, I'm not sure why you're concerned about this.  Folks here seem to
be happy with things as they are.  What problem are you trying to solve?
