I am posting this here and on all team logs.
This is a special announcement for all teams, certain ones more than others: -The purpose of TAC teams is to support, help and encourage each other. “All for one and one for all.” That means reading each other’s logs, and commenting them where appropriate. It also means no more bickering. - It the future all teams will be closed upon reaching 15 members, and new teams will be formed for those languages. Should a new team only attract a few members (about 5-7 depending on the team members prior TAC experience) by the sign-up deadline (31. January 2013), they will be merged with the original team. If in the course of the year, the teams lose half their members, they may also choose to merge. Any team that already has more than 15 members will not be divided, but they will not be allowed to add new members. - Each team is to choose a team leader by Tuesday, 18 December. Inform me of your choice by then. The leader must have prior TAC experience unless there is no such person on the team. The leader is to keep me up-to-date regarding their team. - I have created a French team and a Spanish team. Anyone studying those languages may choose to join them if they wish. The original Romance teams will remain in existence for those who are studying other Romance languages or who are interested in multiple languages. Note that even if you are only studying French or Spanish you may choose to be on a Romance team rather than a single language team. If there is enough interest for an Italian, Portuguese or Romanian team, I will create one. However, I would like those who may be interested in such a team to gather at least 5 team members before asking me to form the team. I am sorry to have to make these additional rules, however it is obvious that certain teams are already on the verge of falling apart and a number of more experienced TAC members have noticed this and sent me PM’s requesting that I do something. 9 persons have voted this message useful | |||

This sounds very sensible, and I support this with all my heart.
In 2011 we announced our interest for participating and then the organizer decided which team we were on. In 2012 we did not really have an organizer, and we sort of just organized ourselves. The development we have seen over the last days shows that it is wise to steer the process a bit, and like I have said before: Brun Ugle is doing a fantastic job with it, and I am very happy that we have her to organize this.

I agree wholeheartedly with Solfrid Cristin and Brun Ugle; the TAC is all about co-
operation towards a common goal with as much support from each other as is possible. I stand by what others have said before me; Brun Ugle is doing a fantastic job of organising this year's TAC and we should support her in any way so that this TAC can continue to run as smoothly as it has been. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Brun Ugle, what is the name of the Scandinavian Team and where can I find it? I haven't encountered it yet.

Sorry, I meant to mention it. It's called Team Viking and with Solfrid Cristin as godmother it's sure to be great. 3 persons have voted this message useful |
