The description seemed pretty vague about how people get on the council. 
My impression is that the FPL picks from people who want the job 
according to what the FPL thinks will work out.

That isn't necessarily bad. But if the intention is that there be a more 
formal selection process, I think a better description is needed.

I do think there is a risk in an FPL picking whoever they like. There is 
a risk of getting some isolated group think that may not see things 
the same way as significant number of other contributors. I think that FPLs 
will need to make sure they get a good mix of views when they pick this 
group.

Is this new process going to put more stress on FPLs or less? Our FPLs 
seem to burn out pretty quick, so it would be nice if the intention for 
this process was to do a lot of delegation. Making the FPL job harder would 
not be a good idea.
