I don't want to impose a deadline on them completing this work as it is a volunteer thing and it takes time to build consensus. At the same time I don't want to see it drag on for a year or anything like that. > I think that Peter is the best person to bring the group > together, while > Melissa has the experience to stop us making the same mistakes > again.

In the wee hours of this morning I chatted very briefly with Melissa about this and she didn't raise any real objections, but I didn't spell out a plan as detailed as I have here. I also emailed Peter before I went to bed, he replied this morning indicating that he would consider taking on such a role. I have little interest in engaging with either of them in lengthy off list discussion about how I though this should work. That is something for them to sort out and also for the community to discuss - publicly. > I think the first role of the new team should be to facilitate > a > discussion on the direction and objectives of the group, to be > followed > by how to structure the group. > > > In principle I'm all for any process that will clear the air and get > us all pulling in the same direction. This is exactly the reason why I have proposed this arrangement. Keep in mind this is a temporary arrangement to get things working again. The discussion _facilitated_ by Melissa and Peter should be aiming to bring people together around a shared vision for the group.
