I didn't say that the decision had to be made by some sort of vote of attendees.  I said that your words discouraged DISCUSSION from outside the group of organizers.  And let me just say that if I had any doubt about your receptiveness to suggestions before, I don't now.
Jeesh!

No one claimed the event was mandatory yet you felt you had to
*EMPHASIZE* that.
No one claimed that such an event could be arranged last minute, yet you had to tell us the event *MUST* be planned a year in advance (in fact this week).
No one claimed that that *DECISIONS* had to be made by consensus or vote but you had to emphasize the fact that it isn't a democracy.
No one claimed that any change should be implemented by 2006.  Maybe it won't be until 2007 so talking about options now would be better than later.

I don't understand all the defensiveness and rudeness at the mere suggestion that a discussion about the "clumping" effect of the kickoff might be in order.
