Cool. Then let's not let it go to waste. You should bring it to a 
meeting so we can discuss it. Our upcoming July meeting is a 
quarterly meeting with the industry folks, so that's likely to be 
a long one. Then our August meeting will happen in person at 
DConf. So if you want to come and talk about what you've written 
here, then I can make that our big agenda item for our September 
meeting (unless you decide to join us in London :-)).

We had a meeting last fall where Mathias brought a proposal for a 
steering committee. There was a good discussion about it, then we 
took a vote on it and rejected it. Right now, I can speculate 
that it would still get voted down, but you still should come in 
and make your case.

As for the DIP process, I'm always open to changes as long as 
they don't skew toward making it too easy (such that we get 
inundated with DIPs for every idea someone has) or too onerous 
(such that no one submits any DIPs at all).

And please, for anyone reading this, let's not debate the current 
state of the DIP process in this thread. If you'd like to do 
that, please start a new thread in the General forums.
