[Canberra-pm] Becoming Group Leader (was Re: Canberra-pm Digest, Vol 38, Issue 5)

[Guy de Vanny]

Hi All,

I also was at the Canberra meeting last week - excellent talks - thanks 
Paul.  I am keen to see the group continue. Unless Michael or John want 
to put their hand up, I am happy to register as the leader and do the 
web and mail stuff and organise some meetings and perhaps a project.

I am sure that with the bit of interest already shown we can breathe 
some more life into the Canberra PM group. So  put in your thoughts, and 
unless someone else is keen to do it, I'll  register at groups.pm.org 
tomorrow or Friday night.  After that I think we need a meeting in the 
next fortnight or so to plan some action for the year.

Cheers,
Guy
