I've just connected and read the entire discussion, so let me try to sum 
it up. Perhaps we can get out of the deadlock by adopting an opt-in 
approach, i.e. rather than picking one or two co-coordinators, we could 
ask you to lead an open online working group that would prepare a basic 
charter and rules of order for the caucus. I guess that most of the 
people that are participating in this discussion would be happy to join 
and contribute to that.

Once a charter is worked out, we simply ask to people to sign up to it 
and thus become members of the "caucus v2.0", perhaps with a clause so 
that unless at least, say, 50% of the current list members do so, the 
new charter won't become operational. Any other people who won't join - 
either because uneligible according to the new charter, or because they 
don't want - may stay on the list (we'll see whether a separate 
members-only list is necessary for organizational, non-substantial issues).

In the meantime, I guess we will refrain from making any substantial 
statement, but perhaps we can speed up the process and try to close it 
in a few weeks, so to be ready by the summer.
