Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a "neutral shared utility".
Thought experiment: name this subproject dash. Focus specifically on
issues related to the charter of Jakarta (as reflected on the web site, not
in the board minutes). Aggressively demonstrate that you are responsive to
requirements by addressing requests and incorporating patches as fast as
they are identified.
Fast forward six to twelve months. Where do you think you will be? For

being debated openly by the people who will presumably do the work.
