Perhaps it would be most productive for license-discuss to proceed under the assumption that OSI would like to fill a more constructive role in the community, and discuss what a license list published by that sort of OSI would look like. In parallel, the board and affiliates can discuss whether a more proactive role is appropriate. If the affiliates and board approve of a more active, forward-looking role for OSI, then OSI can follow through on what license-discuss advises in this thread. If they would prefer to remain in the current, filter-only-for-OSD position, then this will have been an interesting thought experiment for someone else to build on.
