While I also (as an "outsider") would say that you (or we) have a lot of time to decide on the structure, there is one point which should get solved as soon as possible: Sponsor contacts. I have organized sponsor contacts for a sports club once, after my predecessor didn't handle them for a while. I therefor know that it can be really hard work to re-establish these contacts, while it is relatively easy to keep them working. Even if you change the person in charge for this "job" inside the team later, someone should "pick up the loose ends" as soon as possible. Another note regarding something from Aschwin: Aschwin van der Woude wrote on 12/07/2006 10:39: > * Treasurer (one person) > Preferably somebody from the local team.

In my experience, at least two people should know how the budget is planned. Even though only one person should give out the money. This helps avoiding two things (but only prevents them when proper documentation is done and some self-discipline is applied): 1) The project failing because the intended treasurer isn't available for some reason and noone else knows the details. 2) Paying for the same thing twice. It's often a good idea if the "Main organizer" (i.e. someone who keeps an eye on the big picture and coordinates the sub-groups) and the Treasurer work closely together. Regards, Sven
