OS,

Since you seem to need a reply on this topic, I'll provide mine:  Don't let your shorts get tied up in a knot on the subject.

The QJ gatherings have gone on for years & years.  They will continue to go on, I expect, as long as the momentum for them exists.  Frankly, I do not remember any "vote" or group designating individuals who should be placed in charge of "organizing", anyway.  Why? Probably because none was really ever necessary.  Our gatherings have been very laid-back affairs since the inception.  I know; I was there.  Two or three individuals, so motivated, have typically stepped up in plenty of time to accomplish whatever "organizing" was required (secure a rate on a block of rooms, ask for a meeting room, put out a coffee can for "room donations", & maybe a couple other tasks I'm not thinking of right now).  Most of the rest is a few guys bringing beers and somebody ordering out for pizzas or something similar.  If so motivated, others may bring pictures, banners, posters, videos, etc.  I don't think it's rocket science nor do I believe it essential we have some sort of ongoing "administration" for QJ gatherings.

Me? I actually like it being informal. I certainly don't mean to be harsh or to minimize the efforts of those who voluntarily tackle tasks that need doing.  All I'm saying is: I'm confident whatever needs doing will get done. Don't worry so much about it.  As you say, you won't be there, anyway, so it's future really IS up to the rest of us. 

OS, you should feel free to retire in peace knowing we've got this covered... or not.  If the interest isn't there, it won't be covered.  The reason you are not getting replies right now is, in my opinion, because no one else is "concerned." I, for one, don't feel we need to be.  We'll overcome our inertia when the time is right and it will all come together... if it is meant to.

Thanks for whatever service you have graciously provided but there is no need to lose sleep over this.  It's a non-issue.  That's MY honest opinion, anyhow.  Personally, I doubt I'll think about it much until 2021 is at our doorstep.
