Since you asked...

As I've mentioned before, I've put considerable effort into developing 
new a kind of collaborative decision-making venue that I believe would 
be of interest to folks here.

It plays off the ranked-choice, IRV system used in ICANN's Board Member 
election in 2000. You can see an operational demo on Facebook at 
http://apps.facebook.com/we-vote/ .

This project is a direct consequence of my Ph.D. research on Internet 
Governance. It's not a specific answer to the WG problems just noted, 
but it's definitely intended to "improve the overall situation."

The demo reflects what I've been able to accomplish without 
collaborators or outside resources. Are there any foundations, angels, 
or VCs out there who want to help me take it further?
