I missed the conversation in Slack around this, but this might be a good goal for our second year as a group. I can see having a chair/lead organizer, vice chair(s)/organizers, and project leaders - something along those lines. Maybe a steering committee.
Based on recent events, I'll bump a prop on this issue to review it during our Weekly Meeting to create a Steering Committee for Moderation purposes.
In the first instance perhaps identifying a few "Ask [name] about..." people and pinning it in Slack would really help? It can help to flesh out some roles and conversation topics too. For example:
Ask [name] about the group aims and what we want to achieve Ask [name] about how to get involved and help Ask [name] about finding resources for your organisation Ask [name] about increasing diversity at your next conference or event
We discussed this explicitly in the strategy meeting (full notes in #28), and the relevant parts here are:
DDI has the same problem as the community. Should we lead by example? Consensus: yes

Administrative roles and organizing (around moderation) sound different than taking moderation shifts... the doc here I think is more of the admin org.
Use https://github.com/drupaldiversity/administration/issues/69 to volunteer for being a moderator.
We did create teams! Like mentioned above, use #69 to become a moderator. Team leadership was announced in the May 11 meeting - agenda and notes in #65
The amorphous structure of the DD&I group - if you show up, you're part of us - is wonderful. So many people have commented lately that leaders should be held to a different (higher?) standards than community members. If this is the case, for the DD&I group, we'd need to first define who the leaders are and what their responsibilities are.
This issue is for that!
