[edit] Central Dispatch
Each City should have a central dispatch person. Often, this might be the same person you have sitting at the front desk, checking people in and adding them to your attendee Google spreadsheet (so you can get in touch with them later). If each city has a central dispatch person who is familiar with the activities happening in that city, they will be able to serve as a communication channel to the rest of the cities.
The Central Dispatch Person should stays on the CrisisCommons IRC channel at http://irc.rhok.org
Dispatch Person requirements - should have some familiarity with the projects the city is working, and know who each of the project managers are in that city.
