I was speaking as the Best Bits liaison with the civil society "coordination group" (to use Bill's nice name for it), to confirm that I am passing names to that group for its consideration.  And yes, we all know the process is lacking and are scrambling to put a better one together for next time...

Absolutely should, but we're taking them one at a time.  1net is the next cab off the rank, and the other two committees come after that.  CGI.br hasn't yet given us a firm deadline for the other committee nominations, whereas we do have one for 1net.
