I could but then again I live in the UK. 
Guys you need to take up the challenge. If you have a good CO you will develop your forum over time and get it active which will really help. Use the language you use most and if it is for cross border communication you can always use English in those posts.

This is a CO's 'Job Description' as set out by Hondagal to the CO's in general.

The Community Organizer is not a moderator. I prefer not to associate the word "moderator" with Community Organizer. When occupying this role you do have moderator priviledges, only for the reason of keeping the peace within your organization, and keeping unauthorized advertisers out. We tell every forum moderator to not over moderate as this appears to be to heavy handed. If you need to edit a thread, make sure you post a note as to why. Or, if you have to lock a thread, post your reasoning.
S2Ki Directors do not appoint Community Organizers. We want your peers to nominate you. You are the lead person within your organization. You are the one respected by your fellow members. All regional community forums, were requested by people in that area. Sometimes things change within an organization and someone steps up to the plate to help out or take over. We make those changes by request. If we receive a concern from fellow community members about the CO, we will then step in and help out.
All forum communities must be requested, and we recommend you have a decent number of participants to make the community forum worth while.
The role of a Community Organizer is:
Developing a club "Community"
Establishing a club name with input
Maintain the membership list
Contact potential members you see on the street and online *build the club)
Develop relations with local sponsors and dealerships
Take the lead in organizing local or community events
If you are a large community or small, there is nothing written in stone that you can not have help. A Co-Community Organizer can help with tasks, and event planning. It is better to ask for help than try and do everything yourself.
As a CO you should be dedicated to the community and the S2000.
You will have a sense of accomplishment by organizing events and having your club membership flourish.

Well, it looks like we need a Community Organizer in order to finally get our Scandinavian Badges.
I'd offer to help out, but after reading the 'requirements', it would be hard for me to be an effective organizer will living in Western Canada
Since this is a nomination type of thing, I would like to get the ball rolling:
I'd like to nominate Saras (if he is up to the challenge). I have read many of his posts on s2ki.com, and he seems to be a positive part of the community, as well as an avid fan of the S2000 (as seen by his car).
