I can think of 2 situations contrary to that - the meetings are/were at I-Q
because they had *1* person they could co-ordinate thru - Darxus. If just
any member had called IQ and asked for the room/use of bandwidth/etc, bet
you that they would not have been so free with the resources.
The meeting at Cigna. Came about because the folks at Cigna had *1* person -
Tony - they could co-ordinate thru. If you or I (or any other Plug member
that the cigna powers-in-charge did not know), NO WAY would we have been
able to use that resource.
Granted that neither of them is an official officer of the group, but both
situations were at least partially dependent upon the identity of the person
who originally made the request. Would not have happened if "anybody could
speak for the group"; in these cases, it was because of a SINGLE INDIVIDUAL
who spoke for the group.
