I've generally found that rudderless committees lead to impasse.
Perhaps if we redesignate the 'policy manager' the 'policy chairman'.
Moving the position away fron definition of policy and final decision
making and towards /leadership/ of the policy group. Groups without
well-defined leaders, without people who set and enforce an agenda,
tend to sit around and bicker. (cf debian-devel) If we're going to
have an anarchy, let's at least designate a 'chief anarchist'.
