Excellent ideas Margaret.  As the facilitator/chair/leader,
you should take charge of setting the agenda, accepting refinements to
the agenda, and guiding forward progress through the agenda,
just as if this were a face-to-face meeting.  These summary
messages (they don't have to be every day, but should probably
be at least once a week) would essentially become
cumulative indicators of our progress through the agenda and would
be very helpful in keeping the discussions on track and the
threads coherent.  Otherwise, the discussions tend to fork too
frequently, leaving us awash in good ideas not necessarily
focused on the tasks defined in the agenda.
