I'm somewhat puzzled by your use of "we" and "them" like if there were
two groups to oppose. I wish we just all acted like one group. Within
MoCo/MoFo, I don't think there are different groups, some understanding
priorities and some would do not; no, there is just one group moving
toward the same direction. Why wouldn't the community just included in
that move? There are a lot of things to do, but everyone moves toward
the same set of goals.
We as "the whole Mozilla community which includes volunteers and
employees" (all of us) and them as "volunteers' communities".

I'm glad to hear such discussions are ongoing and I didn't know reps had
signed an NDA, it's important to know indeed.
To a large extent, I doubt the Reps Concil is the right entity for that.
From what can be read in the wiki [1]:
"The program, also known by its codename ReMo, aims to empower and
support volunteer Mozillians who want to become official representatives
of Mozilla in their region/locale and wherever they go."
Role of the council is described on the wiki [2] too:
"Comprised of 7 Mozilla Reps and 2 Mozilla paid-staff, the Mozilla Reps
"Jedi" council has the following duties and functions:
help provide governance and support structure to assist Mozilla Reps
worldwide
help oversee global activities
help oversee global budget management for events, swag
help nominate global membership administrator
help resolve disputes
help provide guidance and inspiration for Mozilla Reps "
Currently, at its core, ReMo is a program for volunteers to efficiently
represent Mozilla locally. It's an excellent mission but it has nothing
to do with deciding priorities about Mozilla at the organization level.
What I'm talking about is a level of participation from volunteers that
would lead to the creation of programs such as ReMo.
Reps are by definition leaders inside Mozilla, they know really well
about the values and mission and want to take a step forward.
The Reps Council is their governance group which is formed by extremely
committed reps with great abilities such as leading discussions, align
the project with global goals, deciding priorities inside the program...
This could be easily exported to mozilla governance globally. Keep in
mind I'm not suggesting that Reps Council should be the only group of
volunteers involved.
Regards.
