That might be a good place to start.  I know when we made the change to 
have our admin group (I'm one of three, plus we have a technical 
administrator), we were invited to participate in the project meeting 
that week, but I was on holiday when that took place, and I know at least 
one of the others was unavailable as well).

The three of us are very geographically distributed - I'm in Utah, Carl 
is in the UK, and John is in Australia - if I remember correctly.

The mod team is similarly distributed globally.  Not that that's a huge 
problem for getting some to attend such a discussion, of course, but 
something to be aware of (as I'm sure everyone here is since the entire 
project is highly distributed geographically).
