I would llike to propose a Rules Committee on the following bases.
I have to disagree with the initial openness. We have too many process wonks who would jump at the chance, and we'll end up only being allowed to edit every second thursday when it's a prime number of days from the vernal equinox of Triton...
Proposal: a Rules Elimination Committee. They can only remove rules, not put through new ones.
I don't know if this was a joke, but I actually like the idea. We seem more than capable of creating new rules all the time (ahem [[Wikipedia talk:Community sanction]]). Creating rules is chaotic now, but is that a bad thing? I like process efficiency, but an efficient rules creation system seems a little dangerous.
