Hello,
I think it could improve both the perceived and actual
transparency and accountability of the W3C as a whole to have what
I've tentatively called an "Audit Board". An Audit Board would be
charged with investigating specific incidents and situations and
producing a report and making recommendations.
Bijan,
Can you provide more information about the situation(s) that led to
this proposal? Feel free to contact me offlist.
The immediate impetus was this email:

I first aired the idea in:

I don't know it has to be an AB per se...perhaps we have too many
groups :) I just find myself doing list forensics a bunch these days
and wish that the body of knowledge of dysfunction and how to deal
with it were systematized in a best practices document (with
supporting cases).
Cheers,
Bijan.
