14. I think you'd be a very good host.

but I also agree with what LisaD wrote. We have over 70 subscribers. Most of them have not posted in the recent threads but that doesn't mean they aren't reading them and thinking about what this group's goal is or how it should be hosted. There's probably a subset of subscribers who haven't visited DU in the last couple of days (for example, they're on vacation this week or they look at DU only on the weekend.)

I'm not fond of the open vote system used by the LGBT group but I really think that after the last few days we need a public vote.
