If selecting a host is left till agreement is reached on a SOP, there'll never be a host because there's never going to be a point where everyone agrees. The role of a host is simple, and I want someone doing it who has the interests of this group first and foremost...

Hosts have been appointed to groups and then a SOP is discussed afterwards. While we didn't get a vote, hosts were assigned to the I/P group and then we were invited to discuss a new SOP based on the old I/P guidelines (and if you think hammering out a SOP for this group is bad, the long list of rules from the old I/P forum make this look like a walk in the park)....
