This was discussed a lot at the talk page [1]. I explained some ways
for making (almost) a fully representative body.
However, we have to move on and there is not enough interested people
in this phase for making a fully representative body. So, we concluded
that the best idea is to make a working provisional body with smaller
number of members which would be appointed by the Board.
As I said on the talk page, I think that this body should describe a
path from the provisional body to the fully representative body.
