I was under the impression that there was already three such lists 
(outreach, strategy and workplan).

Hand-picked (if that's how it must be) is a possible model, but there's 
no reason for a lack of transparency for the criteria or the members.

I suspect that if a secret group came up with some ideas, that the main 
list would insist on re-debating them. And bringing things to the main 
list will defeat any element of surprise (if that was the purpose).
