I am sorry, but I am going to disagree on the chair idea.  I feal that 
we have been kept on track and have been addressing what was 
nessessary.  I think that a chair at this point is added 
administration and unnessisary.  We are a group of adults that is 
willing to discuss what we need to accomplish.  This guidence is not 
nessisary at this point.

My idea when I brought this idea up to Guillaume was that we would 
keep the number participating in the disscussion small.  We are 
looking at foming a guild that will start the affect how dance is run 
in the kingdom in a major way.  Thus I contacted the dance guild heads 
in the kingdom, those people who already have experience and are in 
charge of dance or have been in charge.  So I feal that the parcentage 
of dance teachers on this list is vey high.  And what will work.

etc, etc, etc.

This formt might be a good idea, btu hey, we are dance teachers and we 
don't want to be told to do.  And if you can keep a list to focus on 
one thread at a time good luck.  Part of this list is so that we can 
all communicate and get things finished quikly and efficiently.  So we 
do not have to bog down a meeting.  And so far that has worked.  I 
think we are the dissision makers of dance for the kingdom.  Think 
about it, you teach what you want to teach, noy what your A&S officer 
wants you to teach.  We should keep the formum as it is at present.  
We have gone along way to improve what we want from a kingdom guild.  
I would hate to see us lose sight of the guild because we are trying 
to have the whole kingdom agree on each topic. 

I am proud of what we have done so far and am glad to say that I am an 
Ansteorran dancer.

Your servant to command,
