Please make sure that the meeting is logged. We need these to be more 
efficient. That's if you are meeting to organise anything, we don't 
really need to see chatter. You never know, some of us could drop in to 
help you out if we know plans in certain districts. If we are organised 
right from the start we we get better results.

There should be a set hierarchy:

International Marketing meetings / projects -- logged
National Marketing meetings / projects -- logged
State / Provincial Marketing meetings / projects -- logged
Regional (these encompass more than one city) Marketing meetings / 
projects -- logged
City Marketing meetings / projects -- logged
City district Marketing meetings / projects -- logged

All of these levels should have a agreed-upon (voted in if necessary) 
"Lead Marketing member" in charge of the group who is in charge of 
logging and reporting back to the level (only 1 level) up above their 
level. The upper level "Lead member" is then responsible to examine, 
assess and report eventually back to her/his Marketing upper level 
(maybe once monthly or more if the lower project is important enough to 
merit direct reporting).  * This could easily be done through a "LibO 
Marketing Blog", but should still be reported back officially to the 
upper levels if there is any confidential information to be passed up to 
the upper level.

All of these should be completely transparent to anyone who wishes to 
see them; even to MS; OpenOffice.org with the obvious exception of inner 
marketing strategies which should not be transparent except for declared 
registered marketing members -- they can join if they are that 
interested in inner marketing strategy. I think that most people would 
think this reasonable; why would we open our strategy book to MS or 
anyone else for them to copy or use against the group? Otherwise, LibO 
should be recognised as "the" community office suite whose "cachet" is 
openness to all.

There should always be a "call to help" a couple of weeks prior to 
participating to a real project so that any person who has suddenly been 
freed in time to help out, regardless of region, could drop by to help.

IMHO, organising this way will help produce more efficient result in 
spreading the acceptance of LibO.

I'll put up an example on the Canadian Wiki side to show how this would 
work. I'll let you know when it is complete.
