In addition I think there are also natural human tendencies at work here, so to the extent that any future structure depends upon the clear demarcation of roles between strategy and operations, we probably need to think carefully about mechanisms that could help prevent the natural tendencies diluting original intent or at least support roleholders as they attempt to maintain alignment between practice and theory.

Yes, and we should be honest with ourselves. A lot of us, certainly including me,
are generally impatient to get on and do something when we see that something
needs to be done. In some ways the IETF attracts people with that tendency. 
So many of us are intrinsically bad candidates for an *oversight* committee.
