If I might say, I think Barbara's suggestion is along the lines of how we thought the list might originally work: i.e. that people discover some common interest they can work on here. Once they have had a little time for people from other areas and regions to discover more about it and join if it interests them, we can give them space, listservs, and other resources to establish a working group which we'd certainly it is encourage to report back to the general list regularly so that others might discover it.
"How to set up a regional/national DH centre/society" seems to me to be an almost textbook example of a subject for this model: people are going to want to hear about this perennially. Perhaps Centrenet could cooperate with GO::DH to liaise regularly about this here?

Dear Neil,
As you know a similar discussion is happening in Humanist, however, I am very interested in the subject since I am drafting such a proposal. I would be useful to have a discussion as part of this list or, if this is of no interest to people who live in countries where this stage of DH has already happen. We could set up a subgroup focusing on the topic. Of your expertise on this subject is an excellent starting point, but I also would like to hear about particular issues in countries with a different kind of infrastructure where there are few grants or none at all and where governments might not have this subject very high on the agenda.
What do others think?
Best,
BB
