Steps

1. Find a speaker!
   1. Ask contacts outside SL.
   2. Check related groups inside SL.
   3. Check pertinent events inside SL.
2. Get approval from the Planning Committee. (Is this required?)
   1. Decide on potential dates/events.
3. Invite the speaker.
   1. Confirm dates.
   2. Give them an overview of what to expect and what is expected from them. (Maybe we need a standard email or a wiki page for this.)
4. Create an avatar for the speaker. (Is this required? Should we have a set of generic "ISM*" alts whose display name we change as required?)
