Doing so effectively allows *anyone* to organise an event and call it 'official' - which I believe is definitely not something we want for a whole heap of reasons.

There is no formal process (yet), but I would suggest that general agreement (or lack of disagreement) of this forum (-advocacy) that the organisers are well enough known to be trusted and the proposed event is appropriate.

Personally I have no doubts on either point in this instance, given that you and JD are involved. Anyone disagree?
