Isn't that always going to result in an unrepresentative committee? It looks even more like blackballing than the SPI method. A majority could prevent any minority representatives being elected if they wish, which leads to having only poodles from minorities. Yuck. Should team size be determined in advance? I think so. There is the oft-mentioned optimal team size of about seven active members. http://www.qsm.com/process_01.html http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article.cfm?articleid=1501 How many more than seven would we need, to expect seven to be active?
