Why?  This *forum* could be strictly a virtual one, could it not?

All one then needs is a website design and some volunteers to make
sure the CMS works.

I agree with Avri/Raul that an executive is not essential.  If there
has to be a forum (which IMO duplicates work already being done by CS
groups) it should be as lightweight as possible.

The IETF springs to mind here.  It has only one employee (a recetn
hire). It has functioned for many years on volunteer efforts.
