LA can delegate I'd like to avoid the need to form a hard-and-fast "Community Code committee" for a while, as I've found it can create a two-teir structure of "the high and mighty committee" and "everyone else". (I know that executive committee members don't have any real extra power, but life is perception). At this point in time, nobody has any seniority or better set of experience at doing what we're going to be doing, so I'm keen to emphasise that by not having anybody seen to be "promoted" above anyone else. - Matt
