A simple solution would be to make a position paper on software patents. Once that is done, each member (individual or organisation) can decide whether to support and sign it or not. In any case any representations will be done by individuals, and those who are opposed to the position paper need not volunteer for any interactions that may arise. If that's generally acceptable we can postpone agreement on a CMP indefinitely.
