[KWPeace-groups] Int Day No War Against Iran Jan 25 / Will KW Peace be local lead organizer?

[laura at divestwaterloo.ca]

Tamara, thanks for organizing!  I think it would be great if KW Peace
was listed as the organizer, and I suspect that lots of us will want to
support your efforts and help out as we can.  I agree with Cathy - we
don't really have a spokesperson - so rather than having us all chime in
(likely in agreement...filling our in-boxes) - how about we give it 24
hours for anyone to express concern with this  - and if no concerns are
expressed by this time tomorrow, then please list KW Peace as the
organizer.   

Bob does that sound OK with you?
