Jedi, it's obvious from all the threads planning the 2007 M&G that you did a lot of hard work and I don't think that anyone is trying to discount that. People seem really excited about another M&G (that's a testament to the success of this year's!) and want to be involved, and eager volunteers are never a bad thing!
Both the polls and the committee ideas have merit. The polls allow for all of DF to have some input on location, dates, etc. while the committee approach allows for effective decision-making when dealing with such a variety of ideas and a large group of people.
May I make a suggestion? Yes, I know, I didn't even express interest in attending the last trip, but I'd like to attend this one.
Why not have a rotating committee? 4 people or so, 1 of whom heads the committee. Last year's chair stays on the committee for an additional year to provide their experience. Next year's chair is chosen by poll from the other 3 committee members who have never chaired, providing continuity to what was done in past years. The empty seat is filled each year by nomination and vote via poll by all DF members.
We've used this method at work to plan several functions and it has worked very well.
Just my 2 cents....
