[MEI-L] Proposals MEI Strategy Development Group

[Raffaele Viglianti]

Hello everyone,

Many thanks to the Strategy Development Group - you all clearly put a lot
of effort into producing a well organized and clear document.

I left a few specific comments on the document itself. In general, I prefer
Model B: it's lean and reflects well the size of the community. It also
keeps the focus on the Guidelines and releases, which I agree with Sigfrid
are the most important product of this community. I feel model B will
allows us to move forward without having to jump through too many
administrative hoops, while tasking people with essential admin
responsibilities. The idea of institutional sponsorship from Model A is
good, though it might need some clearer bylaws. Model C, while innovative,
feels like it's imposing a structure to interest groups that should just
happen naturally. I see this as being ultimately counterproductive, partly
because it's kind of predictable that one or two groups will always have
the bigger cut, simply because of what MEI offers.

Thanks again for all you work!
Raff
