+1 and Hirano, your proposal seems the most democratically
representative so far.
I agree in general, but am cautious about raising the number of council
members without changing other parts of the charter.
I esp. think of the consensus voting here. Actually the council needs
to vote by consensus (all voting mebers need to agree to a proposal -
it is enough to have one absent vote to get a proposal delayed). Already
now with 9 members, it is hard to reach consensus (and in many cases we
did not reach consensus for years). With 12 Members this would even get
harder.
To try to reach consensus is extremely important in such a diverse
community as OOo actually is. But to be strictly bound to consensus is
(imo) counterproductive.
At the moment I'dlike to see the council changed stepwise - first step,
make it more open for people to join. Next step(s) allow it to work more
efficently.
If we would try to change to much at a time, we will end up debating for
ages (and get no changes at all for a long time). So - I'm just heading
for "release early - release often" ;)
