Re: Forming an Accessibility Steering Committee

[Aaron Leventhal <aaronlev moonset net>]

Okay, since so many people are interested, I have to play devil's 
advocate now.

What is the advantage of having a steering committee vs. just using the 
mailing list? If there's a committee then by its very nature it is more 
closed, and some people are left out. There will always be someone 
deserving that isn't included.

Open source processes like wikis, mailing list and bug data bases help 
guard against accidental "closedness". This is a meritocracy -- the best 
ideas come to the top regardless of who they came from.
