[governance] Do we need a MAG?

[George Sadowsky]

I'm glad Adam raised this point.  There was a set of people, working 
in collaboration with Kieren and Avri and others (sorry, i don't 
remember the exact names), on tools for remote participation.  we had 
identified tools, and had an implementation and testing plan, and 
then because of conflicts in a larger group, the entire effort was 
dropped.

The group continued under jeremy's leadership.  Jeremy, what has 
happened to that dynamic coalition?  Have you made any progress?  The 
goal is an important one.

George
