Without necessarily accepting that (IMHO consensus is required for
substantive things like issuing statements, not for internal procedural
things like creating mailing lists), I agree that there doesn't seem to
be enough support to warrant creating it yet.  But if we don't create
it, this shouldn't be on the ground of transparency.  Currently people
send sensitive posts to ad-hoc subsets of IGC members (such as past and
present coordinators) instead of to the list.  Having a closed list of
self-affirmed members would be more transparent than this.
