Yes.

I meant that it would go to a relatively small board, self selected, but
with your veto on membership, that would make the call.
Form-of-Government-wise I'm more of a republican than a democrat(1), I
think putting these questions to the popular vote of the entire
membership will be somewhat unwieldy.

You've announced you didn't want to start collating requests.
Posit this scenario. I drop off the net due to hardware problems or
because I can't afford the time to dial in. You announce we're going
with alpha IDs. A week goes by, I'm still not back, and some perfectly
legitimate person (Larry Alfred Reynolds) requests ID lar. The
automation, unschooled in newsgroup lore, grants it as it passes the
test.
I'm now going to be using the ID SOOL because that's what I will be. :-)
So I suggest you recant and accept requests now with the proviso they
may mean nothing if alpha IDs are not allowed, or that they may fail
whatever test is put in place and require an appeal.
This kind of reminds me of the whole domain name precedence thing.
1 - although I am neither, politically. Is there anyone who does not
know what politics I favor? :-)
