While most of your comments have merits of their own, it has to be mentioned that there was a lot of discussion before the event, and the rout, as well as other major issues, was decided by the majority ( I believe 2/3 majority) of the participants: one person, one vote. I think the only way way you can improve the the outcome is for all of us to actively participate, with our novel and alternative plans and ideas in the planning meetings, to create a consensus to implement those ideas BEFOREHAND. See you all in the evaluation, as well as further planning meetings.
