I agree that one of you should be involved on this committee/board.

I'm a fan of real-time chat or phone, and while I won't be participating as
a member of the board, encourage the members to use such methods.

Ok. Steve hasn't replied in public to any of the previous thread yet that
I've seen.
Right now, I'm having a few conversations trying to get an idea for the
procedure to establish this body and for it to prepetuate itself. Once those
thoughts are clearer, I think a post for discussion on those procedures and
a call for broader consensus is appropriate. That way, everyone here can
voice their support/concerns and the kinks can get worked out. If anyone has
specific thoughts on that procedure, please post them here or email me (the
former preferred, so all can see).
From what I understand, there are others working on spec documents such as
Orion with "1.0.0" and Kevin with the Meta-commands. These are drafts, and I
think they'll be posted when ready for others to look at and respond to.
Overall, it's moving forward. And we're not going at a break-neck pace like
we were posting this weekend ;-) That's good, we don't want to rush to any
decisions. I'm encouraged at the overall direction and attitude of the
community towards standardization. Let's all try not to make this too
bureaucratic, but at the same time organized enough to be effective.
