There's a problem with this. The theoretical panel has to inherit "power" from
Todd. Right now, Todd is the only admin. Not only that, but he's the owner.
I'm sure we've all seen posts that read, "Well, I might not agree, but it's
Todd's sandbox." Todd has all the perceived "power" [1]. Todd would have to
make it clear that this was an extension of his authority.

See above. It's the same kind of thing. It's difficult to even conceive of
suggesting taking some of Todd's authority until he says he's willing to do
it. Even then, it's up to him what form it will take, because it's his call.
We can make suggestions until we're blue in the face, but the form it will take
is ultimately up to him (even if his decision is "the most popular
suggestion").

That I seriously doubt. A bad decision, implemented by Todd, could cause
Lugnet to perish. And I don't think Todd's about to let that happen.

I think we should decide what form the "panel" is going to take, *then* decide
what new group/s are needed.

1) All of this assumes that the posts in which Suzanne said she couldn't be an
active admin because of the conflict with MIT are still in effect. There have
been posts that would seem to indicate this isn't necessarily true anymore, but
it hasn't been officially retracted.
