Two reasons I see are: * There are times I'd like mediation where one of the parties is the Board itself. This necessitates a third party that is not the Board. * Criteria for selecting and electing Board members is not driven solely by the question of how good they are at moderating discussions, helping other people reach compromises, and stay neutral in cases of conflicts. Staying neutral is an opposite trait from the Board's role in making decisions when there is a failed agreed upon action. So if the current CWG members would like to disband, I would like to see a new group of moderators formed. If no one else steps up, perhaps I can work on that after I leave the Board (although, I'll still be on the FPC which has its own share of issues that would benefit from an outside moderator from time to time). -Toshio
