Kim:

I think you are over-reacting. First, the reality is that the group I
envision for the committee tends to make many or most of the decisions for
the net anyway because they are the spiritual force behind the net. This
just formalizes the position a bit.

Second, it would be up to the net to build a charter for the group and
decide who would be on it. Because of the nature of the net if the group
starts mis-behaving it would be easy to dissolve because it would be
trivial to simply ignore them.

Third, I don't see their decisions as arbitrary because they will be
motivated by requests from the users of the net. They don't go looking for
things, they simply arbitrate them. I specifically suggested some form of
appeal procedure as well to minimize the problem of arbitraryness.

Finally, something has to be done. The current situation no longer seems to
be working. I made a suggestion. If you don't like the suggestion then feel
free to create your own. I'd really appreciate positive comments on the
situation. I don't know that a committee is the best way to go considering
the history of the net, it just seems the most reasonable from my
perspective. If you don't agree, suggest alternatives rather that simply
ripping up what exists.
