Absolutely I think that community discussion and rough consensus is appropriate for this and other strategy or policy issues. My concern is that this needs to be facilitated and informed by someone with relevant knowledge and experience in the editing/publishing/library/archival world and that is not us. It's certainly not a skill set that the NomCom typically looks for when picking IESG or IAB nominees. It's a skill set that we did look for when appointing the previous RSE.
