We had a vaguely similar discussion when the IAB started broadening the
group of people who help the IAB carry out its chartered responsibilities
by setting up IAB programs in 2010.

It seems to me that as long as the group communicates with the broader
community, and as long as the broader community knows what is happening and
how to appeal problems, and as long as the broader community knows who to
recall if things are REALLY off the rails, the way this is done is probably
ok.

IMO, of course.
