Dear all,
We've been spending the last few days getting in contact, organising ourselves, getting acquainted, and informally exploring the various issues that may arise. For the time being we're using a private mailing list for most of our discussions.
Jimbo asked us to choose a chair, and I've been chosen for now. Sadly, we're yet to make contact with Gutza and The Cunctator - if anyone knows where they might be, that'd be helpful.
We're very interested to hear your thoughts and suggestions on all aspects of the job - we suggest either [[Wikipedia talk:Administrators]] or here. Once we have an agenda, we'll post that, and keep you informed of what we're currently discussing, what we've decided, and so forth.
Thanks for your patience, -Martin

Why the secrecy?

Lazyness, mostly. We're just send the mail to a list of people, no real formal mailing list yet.

Part of the reason I haven't participated is because I've been very busy with other things and my email has been problematic.
Another major part is because I strongly dislike the discussion on a private mailing list.
Laziness is not an acceptable excuse for those who accept the reins of power when the result is secrecy.
The other reason is that I haven't really felt like there's that much that's important to contribute.
I've tried to make my basic positions on what I believe are healthy governance processes and what are not. I'm participating in the "arbritrary cabal" because I feel I have to, not because I want to.
