I'd prefer instead a simple vote of all members of the committee for all cases. I very much hope there will not be a lot of cases, so I don't see this as being a problem workload-wise.
This is what I had envisioned as well.
If there are a lot of cases, then we need to figure out how to rework the system so that there aren't--the vast majority of issues should, in my opinion, be decided by consensus on talk pages or, if necessary, through mediation.
Yes, absolutely.
Just as a side note -- I'm deliberately staying out of this discussion, so when I say "this is what I had envisioned as well" I'm just giving background information, not dictating to the committee as to how it should function.
If no consensus by committee members develops soon enough as to what it will do, I can step in and say "O.k., let's have a vote of the committee on the options that have been proposed" and then we'll go with that.
But hopefully a vote won't be necessary, if proposals are craft that try to take into account various points of view. I think that the simple approach is best right now.
