Denny, Dariusz: May you take a look the talk page [1], see the flow of concerns and ideas in relation to the proposal and comment specifically what you think it could work and what you think it couldn't.
Besides that, I created two subpages which deal separately with Representation and diversity [2] and Scope [3], so we could be more focused on those issues, as they turned out to be the most discussed ones. (If anyone sees the need for any other discussion topic, let them create a separate page, as well.)
