I don't want to drop you, and can add you easily enough if you want to try.
As for the ladder, I don't know about ICQ setup. The problem I see with that is that the scripts typically need you to just enter fields on a web-based form. The contact issue is separate altogether, and I suppose could be done both ICQ or e-mail. That remains to be seen, I suppose. Get in on the committee and see if you can get that in.
