I am not so sure about this. My guess is that 40 or 400 makes a 
difference wrt to procedures, internal structures and also outcome.

Personally, I find 50 people groups ok for a limited time when it is 
about a very limited task to accomplish. Like WGIG. I find this size not
adequate for long term goals.

Not sure I want to delegate such an important question (assuming it is 
indeed important) to a planning group unless there is extensive 
consultation on each single issue.
