If there were a hub in the net I suppose the NC would arrange that.

Don't feel bad for taking care of yourselves, somebody has to do it even if
just until Allen Prunty is back up and running.

I don't think Allen would feel bad that you all carry on.

Every net should have an NC at the helm to get that done. If Allen can't do
that (and I don't know his situation) maybe one of you two is able to and would
 like to take on the role?

I would netmail your RC directly and ask him what should/can be done.

The RC will often stand in as an acting NC if needed. Best is to arrange a
ready and willing candidate from within the net whenever possible.
