Heck yes. Would having it over lunch suit? Otherwise, it would conflict with sessions (or have to be before or after, on Thur./Mon.)
As ever, such things can be discussed/proposed here: http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_online
I support the general idea. I don't know if a lunch session would be long enough to do justice to the question. Perhaps an open-ended evening session?
Judging by some of the views expressed already this could be a fairly heavy duty session. Airing these kinds of things at a meeting like this should be done with a view of building consensus. All persons active in some aspect of wiki governance should be there. I would not make this a closed meeting (too unwiki!), but people who have not been following this discussion before the meeting should be warned that the nature of the discussions could be very boring for them.
I would also suggest that a written agenda be available before the meeting starts, and that the meeting be chaired by a person with a track record in consensus building.
