As someone who enjoys working these events and has at least a *little* seniority, I think that new folks should be given an opportunity to work events - that way they get some exposure to what is really the heart of what MM does these days.
I think my vote would go towards a list - the people at the top of the list are given the opportunity to call dibs on the next event. If they can't 100% commit to it, say 2 weeks in advance, then drop down to the next person. Anyone who commits to an event but doesn't show is banned from working for a set period of time or all together.
I agree. You don't want to shun those that have show a commitment before, away from another event b/c they were 4hrs late in posting or need a day or two to check schedules. Also, you can't have someone pipping up 4 weeks before the event saying they are going to work, thus turning away someone else, then 1 week prior, something comes up and they can't make it. Now you are short a worker b/c the committed worker that was 4hr in posting, has made other plans. I would hate to see that happen. I'm all for getting new people invoved, but if you make it somewhat of a challenge, you have less that will back out at the last minute witht he mindset of, I'll just catch them next time...
