Excellent - so we have a defined, and succinct problem statement.

It's a thought process. And I don't mind seeing the idea thrown "out there"
with a speculative solution. My comments were in parallel with the time /
form / agenda of the proposed interim meetings, and the idea that some
(many?) will be churning additional resources from their own companies to
participate and in that participate remotely with all the obvious foibles
that brings.

I appreciate experimentation as a valuable precursor to discussion, but more
than anything I would love to see some requirements fleshed out in working
group form first.
