I have to say, I personally would be over the moon if we started to see that
kind of thing happening. I have small children and a demanding job myself,
so already delegation and distributed responsibility is becoming very
important, and I expect/hope that people in relatively low-commitment
"guidance" roles will come to be an important feature of the initiative. We
shall see.

Perhaps the most productive thing I can do on this front is to say that when
there is a stable list of projects and activities in progress (hopefully 1-3
weeks from now), I'll post it here with contact details for each team, so
anyone interested can say hi and offer welcome advice to the relevant
team(s) without having to wade through a lot of uninteresting discussion
etc...?

I'd make a point of telling team leaders to expect this - the knowledge of
ExI list members would, I think, prove immensely valuable to these projects.

Best,
A
