I like this revision of the proposal. Consider me to be in the +1 camp now. I'm a bit concerned that the people doing the distros have not weighed in on this discussion - without their participation and active support a Distro CG will find it hard to provide effective governance. As a barometer or straw poll, I'd like to see something from each of the proposed core contributers or distro leaders before the CG gets formed - my thought is that if they won't comment now, are we off base in assuming that they would participate later? -John
