I feel uncomfortable with this being left so wide open. First of all, I
know that the power *probably* won't be abused but I don't think
probably is good enough.


I can put it more succinctly:

Has anyone ever heard the pebble dropped in this well hit bottom?



As I said above, I couldn't find a public list of the people who were on
the project committee. Perhaps that's because my Googling skills are bad
but I feel uncomfortable knowing that *anyone* will be given judge, jury
and executioner power, let alone people whom I don't know anything
about.
I agree with this. I would certainly like to know who the people who
will judge these cases are.

I want to add another question: what will the judgement process be like?
Will it be an open discussion on this list, or will it be decided behind
closed doors by the committee, and we just get to hear the results?

While there might be no plans regarding this as of now, I'd _really_
like an open discussion regarding these issues that arise in the future,
rather than it being decided behind closed doors with us regular old
contributors getting no say in it. A closed discussion would be much
more prone to power abuse, if any.

I'm okay with leaving it open for now but I think I would be a lot more
comfortable if we had the interpretations document to close up the
vagueness later.
