At the risk of sounding exclusionary, I wonder what the goal of defining the committee is if the larger community can vote on each proposal. As I understood it, the committee has voting rights, while the larger community has viewing and commentary rights. We *do* most certainly value wide input. But voting is quite sensitive. In particular, you recommend a threshold of 70% before something is accepted. 70% of what? Of votes? Who is eligible to vote? And how do we publicize a vote? When is it held? What if that period of time is a big holiday in some country? Etc. It all seems to be a can of worms.
