Conclusion

The key insight necessary to successfully run an international volunteer organization is ``Do nothing yourself.'' Spread out responsibility and authority to as many people as possible. Create a sense of community, make participation rewarding, and take vacations. Take advantage of press opportunities. Keep rules to a minimum and use technological solutions to exclude people of ill will from your community. Most of all, have fun!
