Hey all,
Relatively new member here. I've been reading these emails for a while now - I'm pretty excited to be a part of this group.
I'd love to throw my hat in the ring for consideration of the summit. Please don't get me wrong - I don't mean to disrespect the traditions here in terms of preferring the seniority of delegates. This just seems like an unbelievable opportunity, and I would be honored to be considered in representing this group. I'm more than willing to learn more about this organization and complete the application process y'all decide on! And I completely understand if I am coming too far out of left field to be considered!
Best wishes and much respect,
Lee Pennebaker

Well, Isarra hasn't gone yet....
Though we may want to follow our pretty-good tradition of asking people to volunteer by posting a pitch like we did at

The summit, as it is now called, is apparently in March again, andaccording to the eligibility page, we can send a person! (Is
this why we submit our reports? It is, isn't it.) Do we have a plan? Who do we want to send this time? What do we wantto do with it? Do we have any sort of stance on anything
about the movement strategy in general, as that seems to be the mainfocus? Deadline for the who to send decision and whatnot
is 17 december, though, so maybe we can break tradition and figurethis out before the week of this time.
You can't just reject tradition like that. These things are such
important parts of who we are.
Seriously, though, are we at the point where all major WM-US-CO
contributors have been sent to Berlin? If there's a contributor who
hasn't had a chance to go, maybe we just send them?
