The proposal was made because it seemed from a number of things that the CSSU project could benefit from some organization and getting more people involved. I'm gratified that in 2 days the OP got 29 thanks and one of the core devs has supported it. I sent a message to Mohammed AG a long time ago about a TSG, but he didn't respond one way or the other.

What would a TSG do? We know that and I proposed a few examples. Jaffa questioned candidate eligibility, but ironically named two obvious candidates at the same time. Making a sensible and consistent set of architectural decisions? Well, that's sort of the point of the proposal.

Consider what I said rather than the implications that are contrary to what I said-
"community members meritocratically selected from within the project . . . Council can delegate some of its authority so that the TSG can hopefully address related administrative tasks directly and more quickly without Council intervening on its behalf. . . I'd also like people to see more clearly how to address the project with their ideas and contributions."

I think the proposal is empowering to the CSSU devs and is promoting the project. Ask Pali about what happened in kp and if he would like to have had some of Council's authority to directly tell Nemein what to do. I hope this proposal, if adopted, would solve that kind of problem for CSSU.

There's no hostile takeover or fork or conspiracy here. This proposal will not proceed if there is a stalemate, but that doesn't mean it should stop if one or two people attempt to veto it in some way. The discussion should continue with everyone involved with the CSSU project free to participate. It is my hope we emerge with some TSG members selected based on meritocracy. So far I see two nominees - MohammadAG and merlin1991.
