The reality is no-one is organising it - we don't have anyone in  
charge. It's up to the whole Permaculture movement to organise it.

I've proposed a bottom-up model for organising a National Permaculture  
Day here based on the autonomous incorporated regional Pc groups  
organising activities in their own areas, supported by 2 levels of  
coordination - a bio-regional level and a national one. If we can get  
a NPD up and running here, it will be up to our sister communities on  
other continents to follow up. There'll only be an International  
Permaculture Day when we have more than one National Day happening  
concurrently.

I'm talking to my colleagues within Permaculture Melbourne at he  
moment to flesh out a firm proposal for a range of activities around  
the Spring Equinox this year in Victoria, to start the ball rolling.  
This seems to be the preferred date, though we don't have full  
agreement on this yet. I'll post details to the list as soon as I have  
sufficient feedback on what we might be able to do here.  We'll need  
early consensus on a date so we can start detailed planning of the  
activities and their promotion. More soon.
