Here is the roadmap I believe you should follow:
Meet in person with a group of people you know and trust that want to
form the group. Elect a president pro tem and secretary pro tem. Pass a
motion to organize a group. Appoint a bylaws committee.
I think this is not applicable to the current situation, unless you want
to restrict 'the group' to a grou pof geographically close people
beforehand. Anything we can do about it? This is a digital age, maybe
meet in a virtual space using webcam technology??

The problem is that discussion occurs a lot faster in person than online -
even with webcams. It would take months to organize via internet whereas a
good group of friends who live close to each other can get it done in a
week. Once organized, expansion isn't too difficult. It's that initial
agreement on what the initial set of rules should read that is hard to come
up with.
Should the group share the bylaws with us? Definitely. They should solicit
our opinion, and ask for advice. But they don't need our consent. That
would take too long. We would give our consent by joining the organization.
