@Mani no offence but I think it makes more sense for people to write themselves for things they are already doing and involved in. For example you are already doing a lot of work for filling the rota so would fit better in participant coordination. Unless you want to stop doing that completely but that would be difficult as most of the others aren’t able to committ much time or don’t have as much knowledge about it.

Also, there is already a social media WG with a Whatsapp chat that Kae is running which you and @Sergio aren’t involved in so far. That group has Kae, Sean, Seb, Ciara and some newer participants too so quite big already.

If you joined for the newsletter I think this needs to be a seperate venture or it’s own WG really because it will take quite a few of us working on different aspects of it.

Also we might need to deliberately seek out 1-2 people for the admin role tbh because it doesn’t seem like it’ll be filled organically. I think if a couple people had this as their main/only task it wouldn’t be too difficult.

I was joining only for the newsletter, but I can remove myself and keep it out of the working group. Maybe as an independent operation?

I am very happy to do admin, sorting emails is my cup of tea :+1:
(I haven’t been very involved with organising and stuff so far but that’s mainly because I’m not good with group chats, and don’t want to interfere with things unnecessarily :slight_smile: )
