Because we're a community, and the core contributors should participate in governance activities, especially in nominating who should represent their decisions to the OGB. Just as I encouraged the core contributors of this community to vote in the election. Crazy, I know. (I've already spent more time on this simple consensus-gathering exercise than seems necessary. Perhaps you'd like to take on the role instead? I'd rather be writing code.) > And why wasn't a facilitator appointed when we were initiated?

Faciliator was something added to the constitution after we formed as a community. (As with the vast majority of communitites on opensolaris.) If you'd like to talk to the OGB about their grandfathering decisions, please take it up with them (ogb-discuss). The OGB has talked about community formation before and has decided to leave communities which are functioning alone rather than impose a structure or interaction model on them. I support that, and think that allowing the existing communities to choose their own facilitators is quite reasonable. liane
