These seem like nice guidelines but must we disallow people who we all know will help the discussion because they don't meet the requirements? IMO we can't define what makes someone unsuitable for the list but will know them when we see them. Also it seems that rules stop people from doing the right thing while people with bad intentions are usually more motivated and will thus find a way around the rule. My +1 is for a case by case basis.
