As far as I'm aware, someone correct me if I'm wrong, in theory all LUGs are (deliberately?) an unstructured leaderless bunch of people who communicate with each other because they share a mutual interest in GNU/Linux and FOSS.
Other types of LUG exist. Many are dictatorships (varying from very relaxed to very very harsh) and a few are run by committee or cabal (elected or unelected).
You could probably argue that ALUG has a practical committee of the meeting organisers, the list admins and the donors, but "run" is probably too strong a description and I believe useful new members of each of those groups would be very welcome.
