Re: may I suggest 3 stages
Here are some more thoughts:
I -
Formalization of the Council
The actual construction of the New Sil. (NS) must be formally controlled, but there must be an informal way for anyone/everyone to (1)join/add to discussions; (2) submit suggestions, material, etc.; (3) See the progress of the NS.
II -
Enthusiatic Particpation
In order to ensure as many people as possible will participate in the NS, it must be:
(1) enjoyable to participate in;
(2) accessable;
(3) timely (a year spent in committee to decide on how it will be run will be a year the NS will lose potential supporters)
III -
Membership
Everyone interested should now
formally submit their name to the project. Post a message in the new forum titled
Members. This way we know who wants to play.
Final thoughts
Let's pick a topic and run with it NOW. As we go, we can develop the Procedures and Protocol. This way the project and the rules controlling it can evolve together. Having defined goals will keep enthusiasm and participation high.
btw ... I am in no way trying to be 'in charge' with all of these thoughts. I just thought I'd share my tho
