I don't really think without a more clearly defined set of responsibilities for such a group there can be much sensible discussion of its composition. You mention a mediation role but I could imagine the CWG taking on a broader function than just dispute mediation. One of keeping an eye on the overall health of the community and one of intervening in problem pockets before there is a big fuss that escalates out of control. One of taking action to help foster healthy communities as opposed to one of reacting to problems after the fact. Something to think about in addition to dispute mediation maybe?
