If I were organizing one (I'm not!), I'd have a division of "Marketing & Communications," where the various publications are areas within the division. You need to start early with this idea that Marketing Is Not Evil.
For N4, we had the marketing functions, including web services, answering directly to me and my staff. That makes more sense, I think, since these are areas that often need rapid response time and a more "executive" viewpoint by the supervisor.
Although the marketing function sort of looks like it's related to publications, it's really very different in execution, and very few of the people who are outstandikng at one area will also be outstanding in another.
Craig Miller. Indeed, if one were trying to form a "dream team" of Worldcon runners, I might suggest the two of you running such a division.
Such a combination might well exceed the snarkiness quotient of any Worldcon...indeed, of any three Worldcons...
