I agree. This issue has come up several times before, but
never seems  
to have gotten traction.  So (as part of my Lenten penance
 I've 

finally decided to take the bull by the horns and put
together a  
proposal for addressing the various governance-related
questions that  
have been raised:

http:/
/microformats.org/wiki/governance-issues

This may not be a perfect solution, but I really feel we
need to do  
*something*.  If nothing else, hopefully this wiki page will
help  
capture our current "best thinking", as well as
the pros and cons of  
various concrete proposals.

I've also started capturing the "known" governance
facts at:

http://microf
ormats.org/wiki/governance

Hopefully someone can add links to any extant policies that
we  
already have.

Best,
-- Ernie P.

P.S.  Apologies if this isn't the optimal format, but I
haven't heard  
anyone suggest a more constructive approach, and this seems
most in  
keeping with how we resolve other issues.
