    Thanks to Decebel, Cross Trainer and others for such great ideas. CT, I love your idea of incorporating other forums. I also agree that it could be problematic to include each of them.

    However, involving the Classic forum is an absolute must. Some of the best threads I've ever read on this site exist there, and the signal-to-noise ratio generally tends to be greater.

    As for me, for now I will decline having a vote. Maybe later I'll nominate myself, but initially, I just want this concept to take off.

    I think I'd vote for 22 initial members, sort of the happy medium. A 33-voter committee sounds big to me for the first month. Remember, this number will grow for November, possibly by quite a few. We'll see.

    I'm drafting a working Constitution right now, and I hope to post the first edition in the next day or so. I'll definitely need ideas and feedback on a few issues.

    I'd like to direct it for now, and then step back as hopefully the system begins to breathe on its own. It's always better to have a system in place, rather than the efforts of one person or a set of individuals.

    And I'm fine with 33, if that's what you guys prefer.

    As the guy who thought this up, perhaps you should make the threads. Decebal and I are regulars in the Classic section and known for our...unusual contest threads. People will take more notice if you post.

    That makes sense. How does an intial voter group of 24 sound? That way, we can go 16 & 8 between the two forums.

    Start smaller and build it up I guess is the idea here? Makes sense, this way we can get a sampling of how it will work.

    Yeah, I think it will be much smoother if we keep it small the first month. If all goes well, quite a few members should have a chance to be added for November -- in time to vote on the aftermath of Calzaghe/Kessler.
