Definitely. I think it's important to draw from ILTCO's experience forming
as well as Wayne's experience on the W3C.

Good idea. While I'm not going for a position on the SB myself, I can attest
for the value of voice conversations over chat.

Cool. One thing about a chat session, or email list is this: Some people
type faster than others, and by that can end up dominating discussion. Where
over voice, it's a bit easier to ensure eveyrone is heard. Thoughts on this?
It doesn't negate email or chat as an option, but it is something the SB
should be conscious of.
> 5 to 7 people feels right to me for the size of the SC.
I'd go for the smaller number, myself. We haven't had too many volunteers,
the ones who have volunteered are the right people IMO, and it's easier to
get stuff done with a smaller group. If anyone can read the SB discussion
and talk about it here, I don't see making the SB 5 people as an issue. It
will streamline things a bit.

Yup, much better than nothing.

I think the individuals up for this are the right people. To recap, the 3 we
had already are Orion, Kevin, and Lar, plus Wayne and Steve Bliss (assuming
he'll want to be in, I think he's a critical person to have on).
> 5 is a good number. So is 7, but 6 is not as good, odd is better than even.
Yep.
