The two things I see are: - When the group has formal decision-making power, it matters a lot more who exactly is on the group. At Flock, we talked quite a bit about the idea of having a rather fluid membership in the FPL-decides model, with people pulled in on the fly as appropriate for a particular situation, maybe only for a short time. Especially if there's voting and vote-counting, a body with decision-making power needs to be more formalized. That's not necessarily bad, just different. - If the decision-making power is vested in one person, I think there's a strong case for having a separate "watchdog" sort of body. If the representative group is itself more than advisory, that doesn't seem necessary to me. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ board-discuss mailing list board-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/board-discuss
