That could work as well.  Since I volunteered before, I'll go
ahead and volunteer for it again (btw, the meeting is this
Thursday, the 10th, right?).  

So, if you would like to be a part of this, please send
me your public key by, let's say, Thursday at noon.  I'll
compile them all, and bring a list of all their fingerprints, etc...
Then people can bring their key details and ID to the meeting, etc...

 Those who are willing to sacrifice essential liberties for a little 
 order, will lose both and deserve neither.  --  Benjamin Franklin 

 History teaches that grave threats to liberty often come in times
 of urgency, when constitutional rights seem too extravagant to 
 endure.  --  Justice Thurgood Marshall, 1989
