We don't have overlords. :-)  We have a fairly anarchic organization,
operated largely by general consensus and volunteers who step up to
facilitate activity when needed.  It's a system which I think, perhaps
surprisingly, has served us very well over the years.  If you'd like to
try to organize a meeting related to network neutrality, please feel
free.  However, PLUG really isn't setup in a way such that we can make
political statements that represent the entire group.  If that's what
your goal is, perhaps those interests would best be served by creating a
group of Philadelphia computer professionals and enthusiasts specifically
focused on network neutrality.
