Hey Behr,

Thanks for taking the time to clarify this. For what it's worth, I
concur with your view of how things look at the moment.

I was one of the instigators of the mini-GRC idea -- our intent was to
get as many LPFM stations on their feet, technically, as quickly as
possible. That offer still stands, and I think we're getting close to
proposing the first date and location (teaser: Midwest, and *soon*).
(Not withholding information here, we're simply not that far along yet...)

As to Musa's offer for a Grassroots Radio Conference in Albany, I'm
excited about that as well; thanks WCAA-LP! Personally, I'm flexible on
the timing of the full-on conference. As I see things, it's ultimately
up to the hosting station to set the date.

Best,

In all of the years of GRCs there has only been one time when two organizations wanted to do it the same summer.  They resolved it between themselves, and one decided to wait until the next year.  In most things GRC, there is no official process, we are just a loose coalition of people way into  grassroots community radio.
