I have quite a large number of opinions on this. There needs to be an executive in place with the subcommittees which can act relatively autonomously but are responsible to the executive. At the same time I would like to see us have Wikicouncil, where people from the projects meet to discuss them and issues arising out of them.
Wikicouncil would then have someone who reported back to the executive and again be responsible to them.
The fact is, Joe and Joanne editor couldn't really care less how the organisation is ran so long as everything works. The organisation needs to be ran by experts with a small amount of accountability to the user base (which I feel Wikicouncil would achieve)
I've long believed that we should have a council/assembly/etc. composed of representatives selected by each project; this body should elect, at the very least, some portion of the board of directors.
