Honestly, I think the most important part of this organization is developing a scientific description of the qualities of Micras. I have made posts about this in the old Shirerothian forums, of course, but it is important to have people interested in this project.
The goal of this project is to develop the qualities of Micras, such as its distance from the star, albedo, radius, mass, average temperature and the like, so that we can have some sort of quantification about what Micras is as a temperate planet. We know that Micras is extremely Earth-like - but we can't simply copy the information of Earth verbatum.
Regardless if you have the scientific aptitude or not, I need people who are interested in this project if we are going to do this. In order for anything like this to become offical, we need a consensus across the members of the MCS. So, whether you want to simply offer input, crunch the numbers, or simply agree with the goals of the project, I need to know if we are going to provide stats of Micras.
To note, I have some information on Micras located here: http://www.shireroth.org/wiki/index.php?title=Micras
The information presented is mostly from the Micras map itself as well as assumptions; the assumptions being that Micras has the same average surface temperature, as well as the same average density of Earth. The rest (mass, escape velocity, surface gravity, circumference) were derived from the fact that the radius of the planet is given in the MCS map, as well as the fact that it is a "perfect sphere". Land/Sea ratio straight from the map.
