What do other people think? I'm quite happy to see a committee formed if that's what everyone else thinks would be best, but I'm not sure that it would be in our best interests.
This probably isn't the reply Adam wanted, but anyway. ALUG is an organisation, but in the best tradition of Linux, it's a disorganised association of like-minded people who are each willing to put in wildly varying amounts of time. The Linus-like role of "benevolent dictator" probably gravitates somewhere around the original firestarters Laurie, Paul, BJ, Andrew Savory, Martyn Drake and myself. None of us has absolute authority and that cuts both ways.
I still stand by my arguments in http://www.mth.uea.ac.uk/~h089/alug/list/alug1/25.html
I would still be against an ALUG committee, but I would welcome small organising committees for each meeting. If a group would like to take on that task for the next one (ALUG5 is it now? coo) make yourself known to the list now!
