Another few words on this.
I've read some of the other posters, and agree that you can use the position
as leverage to control the proceedings somewhat, and to draw favorable
attention to yourself. If, as some suggest, assigning you this
responsibility reflects a lack of respect for what you do, then anything you
can do to demonstrate competence and professionalism is going to help change
that. So go into the meetings, take good notes, and direct the discussions
toward project related information as much as possible.
And look for a graceful way out of it as soon as is practical!
IPCC 01, the IEEE International Professional Communication Conference,
October 24-27, 2001 at historic La Fonda in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA.
