SlimVirgin makes an interesting response to Coren's proposal about observers.

"When the mailing list was last leaked, it was clear that a huge percentage of the committee's time was spent dealing with issues it was not elected to deal with, sometimes at great length. While that happened, cases stood unresolved for weeks or months with all the bad feeling that entails. So having independent observers, or clerks (but people truly independent and not scared to speak up) would have been very useful in reminding the committee to leave some of these issues to others."




Also, bonus mention of Floquenbeam sarcastically claiming that FT2 was "neutral, fair, professional, competent, project focused, and insightful". FT = (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/sick.gif)
