That's what I thought and it's what seems most natural to me. Quite
frankly, your line of thought didn't even occur to me.
I'm not sure how much benefit there will be in soliciting comments
from the general audience and trying to make it more 'democratic'.

I like Kenneth's thought process. It does not seem to a question of 'democratic' . It is just that public exposure is good for a variety of reasons. More so for a fledgling event . Making the transition is faster rather than later when having a big event

However, if there's sufficient interest in doing it this way, we can
go ahead. I'm not religious about it either way. I feel that your
approach requires more work and coordination.
