This is very much not what I had in mind.  We should not insist on having a role that depends on finding an individual with a rare and difficult combination of attributes.  And I don't think that you can support that function by taking a program with open participation and consensus processes and reduce that to 5 people (+stream manager ex officio) who are responsible for approving strategy.

Perhaps you can start by explaining why you think we need to have an individual perform these functions.
