I think, I personally, would rather see the previous working group
decide new members of the working group.  They're the ones doing the
work, so they should get the most say in the direction the work goes.
(the whole "fedora is a meritocracy not a democracy" thing).

Put another way: I don't think someone who works on desktop related
software should have much say in who gets to be put in the cloud
working group, or vice-versa.

Let the people already doing the work decide the continuing direction
of the work.
If things really get off course, fesco can intervene, but I don't
think that will happen.
