So where does the OGB stand? Does it get elected by the engineering group, or the non-engineering group? Or both? What is the perceived domination? It's pretty clear that the people doing the work in any given area, are the ones most responsible for making decisions. Sure, other groups could (and probably should) have an opportunity to influence decisions but ultimately it's up to the key stakeholders to figure out the right direction. I'm sure Sun would shut down the constitution pretty darn fast if there was a set of irresponsible amendments to it where one community group, for example Advocacy, was dominant - that's not in anyone's best interests, not even the Advocacy group.
