Perhaps we should also add all those that have been active in ITU or ISO/IEC on the codec discussions.

Perhaps we should also add both my grandmothers - I claim they will have insight into this issue as they are both dead.

Seriously, I don't see how any ballot process will not be open to claims (either real or imagined) that the ballot was compromised in some way. I do not think this is the way to go.
