DUmmy capitalocracy's suggestion is no surprise, considering the smashing success of the DUmp Activity Corps. It was Skimmerr's finest hour.
But there is an obvious, insurmountable problem when you try to organize a DUmp brainstorming session.

The wreckage left behind after one of the DUmp's "brainstorming sessions" would make New Orleans, immediately after Katrina went through, look like a job that a Swiffer duster could handle.
