Vooops! Missed this one until now.

My feeling is is that the majority of people here - and most probably 
elsewhere if they were aware of it - are disillusioned with the 
performance of this CoC and the idea of having all the members replaced 
is appropriate.

However, there are 2 points about this.

Firstly, the current membership of the CC expires this coming July so 
it's only a matter of waiting a few months before they get replaced anyway.

Secondly, what exactly is the *relevance* of this "CC"?

A lame attempt at getting people to believe in this magical, Harry 
Potter-type world, of "*community* *involvement*" and all that....? (at 
least until the time that the "community" disagrees in any way?)

I stop here.
