The summit, as it is now called, is apparently in March again, and according 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 want to do with it? Do we have any sort of stance on anything about the movement strategy in general, as that seems to be the main focus? Deadline for the who to send decision and whatnot is 17 december, though, so maybe we can break tradition and figure this 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?

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

Yay, thanks for joining the group! I was totally kidding about the tradition thing: in 2018, we sorted it out by e-mail [1], while in 2017 we actually voted like reasonable people [2]. So might totally get to go this year! cheers, Gaurav

Hey, all, this weekend is the last before the deadline (17th midnight, CET). So far I'm still the only one who's added myself as a potential delegate on the page, so if you're interested in going, please add yourself today and we can have a vote/argument tomorrow (saturday), or something. As long as you put in something better than my filler text, you're probably good. (Yes, I do intend to fix that today as well, but hopefully you've all already seen how bad it is by now.)

Thanks! Since nobody else volunteered, are we in agreement I should go, then?
The following two questions are from the registration form, intended to help the organisers determine the summit program:
1. How does your affiliate work support the Strategic Direction? How does the Strategic Direction support your affiliate work? 2. What movement structures need to change to support you do your work better? What structures help you? What structures hinder you?
Given that they are about the user group as a whole, the answers should likewise probably reflect the user group as a whole, not just my own take on them (especially as my own take is largely just 'I don't really know'). Does anyone have any thoughts on these?

I was about to respond, but first I edited the candidates page to help out a bit, with exactly the answers you've now asked here in email :) And we were evidently thinking along exactly the same lines!
I was going to say that indeed, you should go. You've been an obvious choice for the previous two years, and I'm delighted you've fully committed to it this year!
Given discussion over recent days, and Without objection, it is decided from my perspective.

I was about to respond, but first I edited the candidates page to help out a bit, with exactly the answers you've now asked here in email :) And we were evidently thinking along exactly the same lines!
I was going to say that indeed, you should go. You've been an obvious choice for the previous two years, and I'm delighted you've fully committed to it this year!
Given discussion over recent days, and Without objection, it is decided from my perspective.

Thanks! Since nobody else volunteered, are we in agreement I should go, then?
The following two questions are from the registration form, intended to help the organisers determine the summit program:
- How does your affiliate work support the Strategic Direction? How does the Strategic Direction support your affiliate work?
- What movement structures need to change to support you do your work better? What structures help you? What structures hinder you?
Given that they are about the user group as a whole, the answers should likewise probably reflect the user group as a whole, not just my own take on them (especially as my own take is largely just 'I don't really know'). Does anyone have any thoughts on these?
