FX-Team is an awesome group of people who enjoy each other

These things are truths:

the overall efforts of the company.

That meeting should have these characteristics:

it should be excellent
it should be informative, and on topics that the teams have an interest in
it should give us a chance to meet new folks, and recognize each other for excellent work

About a month ago, we decided it should not have these characteristics:

run by johnath and only run when johnath is available
be, in any way, about what johnath wants to talk about, except possibly as an agendum

To enable this, we elect a Meeting Master to run the meeting, this should create the following characteristics:

this is mostly fun, or at least no great inconvenience
this spreads visibility throughout the team and makes people remember that person over there

that they don't talk to much day to day, but basically think is awesome

To that end:

while I understand the request for structure, (johnath) does not want to add it.
meeting master is a title that is new, so it may evolve, but in any case I think it's mostly a field designation that, while it has generally positive career and visibility traits, is mostly just a team of people sharing the load
I earnestly believe that the quietness so far on the topic is shyness and uncertainty, because I know the team is full of awesome people who would lay down in traffic for one another, much less take a meeting bullet for them
if someone gets saddled with the title and doesn't want it, it should be easy enough to fob off on someone via, e.g., an fx-team@ email
but at the end of the day, I expect (very nearly demand) that the lack of structure, or at

least it's whimsically fluid style, persist
