My input, as regards the team who run the forum, no thanks, I dont think there is any need to complicate things. Anyone with any ideas can post them up and if there is no reason they cant be impemented then good ideas will be considered.
As for meets, I am NEO on several forums and welcome anyone who wants to organise meets. In an ideal world REOs from each forum could talk to their oppos from the other forums and make my role very much easier. In reality organising meets is not an easy task so an REO would always welcome support from other members to help out.
