Excellent proposal!

> 2.  MOTU discuss on the ML.

> consensus of the group.

Personally, I find it difficult to gauge concensus from a ML debate,  
especially if it's heated. Often, such a discussion tends to  
dissipate into several non-intersecting subdiscussions between a few  
very active participants, and the sense of the greater proportions is  
often lost. In addition, the outcome of such a discussion is also  
often dominated by the most persistent debater.

I have no practical idea how to do this better, perhaps a blogging  
tool like Digg or Ubuntu brainstorm, where comments can be voted "up"  
or down, would let the rough concensus percolate through, but I have  
no knowledge of any such tool being available.

Cheers,
Morten
