I think that at this stage in the game, hosts, like the
New York Times, are passe. The only thing this group
really needs is a schedule and interest by list members.
If someone would like to contribute a precis, or series
of questions at the beginning of a scheduled section, it
would be welcome but not necessary. If the form becomes
too free and aimless, the hosting work from one of the
previous group reads could be re-posted to get things
back on track.
