Let's try something different: As a list moderator, make a working
group to make a proposal (ask foundation-l participants to join you
and make some selection). When your group make a proposal, put it on
public discussion. And after changing the proposal according to
reasonable suggestions, implement it. I think that three months are
enough for this task.

Without any model, all of us may talk about everything: Tim suggested
forum, I would suggest that we should wait until Google Wave becomes
reality. And we may continue to talk about everything endlessly.

At the other side, I think that the vast majority of us would be happy
with some user-friendly, free speech-friendly and workable solution.
