Hi Jay -

I think you're missing the point that the RSEA will be "on" much more 
than the RSAB.   The RSAB operates when convened, but, with the 
exception of the RSEA, consists of people stuck with "other duties as 
assigned" - e.g. additional duties mostly not related to their day job 
and probably not going to want to spend a lot of time doing things they 
may not be paid for.

Having the RSEA (*sigh* can we pick one name please?)  be the point 
person for day to day things and bring those things back to the RSAB 
when it convenes to have a discussion seems to me to make a lot more 
sense than direct and persistent management by committee.   I expect the 
RSAB to interpret the strategic direction model as proposed by the RSWG, 
but I would be very surprised if that gives rise to the RSAB meeting 
with the RPC or its representatives as frequently as might be needed by 
the RPC to resolve tactical issues.

Just my $.02. Mike
