Who will run this group?

A group opens when someone agrees to run it: inviting people and keeping an eye on posts, a few minutes a week. We confirm them by hand before anything is sent, and the job can be handed to someone else later. What a moderator does

Me. I'll run it. We text you the offer, and you open the group by replying JOIN.Someone I know. They've agreed to run it, and we text them the offer.
