[governance] WG - +5?

[Izumi AIZU]

I agree with Bertrand, that +5 is still far from acceptable.
If governments have 20 and CS and PS have each 2 and tech community
has 1, that is very much imbalanced.

You cannot play football if a team has 11 and another team has only
6 players. Well, we are not playing the football per se...
