Yes, we have consensus.  I'm not sure that we even need to announce an
interim committee.  We can just announce the creation of the Gnome
Foundation, that the board will be elected by the Gnome hackers, and the
members of the advisory board.

We need to get the lawyers on board now to help us further detail the
timeline.  Rob is working on that.
