[ga-rules] amendment for lists

[Eric Dierker <eric@hi-tek.com>]

Ladies and Gentlemen here are some fantastic criticisms and constructive
advice to proceeding. Please follow suit so that we may get this done.
The lists have proven helpful, but we must fine tune the little buggers
to get them right.  Marilyn's most recent posts on this issuue are a
must read for those interested. We must do this legitimately with real
rules allowing their creation and maintanence.

Absolutely.

Sounds like the much maligned term governor, but it correct. An active
participant that guides and helps.

KISS keep it simple stupid; that way even I can follow it.

These are a must for openness and transparency, and to monitor the
monitor.  Should we attach a work group to each list and let the GA
Chair appoint a liason chair to get one elected once the list/group gets
rolling, like we did in the WG-Review? I like it.
