[governance] Going forward - Role of the governance caucus [3 options]

[Danny Butt]

I agree with Lee that there's not a strong need for regional  
diversity if we're talking about facilitating this entire group  
toward a structure (as opposed to facilitating agreement on content).  
One of the points of the discussion on structure will undoubtedly  
include geographic, gender and cultural diversity of the coordinating  
body for the group (or at least, I'll be angling for this).

I think Bill has put a lot of work into outlining structural issues  
in a sophisticated way and I would be most happy to see him take us  
forward, though I'm also happy with the other suggestions. What about  
someone like Jovan, who has been quieter on this list but has  
diplomatic expertise. A good facilitator on process is  often less  
invested in the topic, which is why I've never been the best  
facilitator in the world.

There are many other worthy candidates but I'm wary of the way these  
kind of email discussions become both a popularity contest and also  
require you to demonstrate allegiance to certain sectors. It'd be  
nice if people could nominate to someone off-list (Milton?) and a  
poll be set up somewhere.
