I would also suggest that an effort be made to find community members who are not WMF employees to participate in the ArchCom and then to have their voices heard during in quarterly planning.
I dont know if this is practical. As Chad noted earlier, WMF hires the best and the brightest. Even if the entire arch comitte was hit by a bus, the people who i think would logically be next in line are still employed by wmf. Even if those people got hit by a bus, i still think their logical replacements would largely be wmf employees.
