Who would you like on a Bitcoin Council that represented the whole BTC community and it's spirit?
As we all know "The Bitcoin Foundation" is industry heavy and was created to pay tax free for the development of BTC. Now I think this foundation is fine however I think the name is a bit misleading as it clearly does not represent all of BTC and its ideals.
If there was a group of people that debated and made recommendations to pool operators, miners and industry who would you want to hear from, who would you trust?
Thanks.

Gavin is kind of a given  If you want to think of a way to find good people for this: who has the ambition and entrepreneurship like Matthew, AND knows when to shut up and nod, and maybe has some degree of respect for others, and manners, too? |

I only have about 200 other things to work on, so I'm down for organizing this.
When do you think this would come into play? Meaning how will we put this to use?

Nanotube should be there since he runs bitcoin-otc
Theymos ,Graet, MrTiggr, slush, Stephen Gornick.
Falkvinge should be invited to sit on the board.
Cascascius and Death and Taxes.
The president should be left open for satoshi in perpetuity and maybe Evorhees as the Executive Director.

I could see having a Bitcoin Council as a counterweight to the Bitcoin Foundation to compensate for the BF's perceived big-business orientation, and maybe even a Bitcoin Miners' Board. Any weaknesses in the Bitcoin Foundation, such as under-representation of miners, will engender the formation and growth of competing foundations.
If the Bitcoin Foundation does an excellent job in all areas these competitors will gain little traction, but the moment the BF screws up or appears dangerous to a significant number of people (as may have already happened) these competitors will experience a surge in membership and influence.
Let a thousand foundations bloom!

If Bitcoin Counsil ever gets created, I will support it, competition is good. But too often these things end up with good wishes only; hope I'm wrong. I nominate Erik Voorhees!

I don't know how this would be organized but have an idea.
We could have a place were anyone who wants can post a paper or an idea on issues and we can read them all and then each person can vote for what they want. This would clearly be non-binding and would more or less be like a think tank (or policy institute). We would just give ideas on current issues and they could be ignored or adapted. However with so many voices and so many votes I think the best ideas would float to the top.
Is anyone interested in organizing something like this?
Thanks.
Whereas Bitcoin Foundation derives its strengths from raising money in order to provide a development budget (among other noble goals), perhaps the strengths of a more community-focused Bitcoin Council would be those of the crowd --- of the bitcoin userbase en-masse. Perhaps an actual web page to gauge the opinion of the community on particular issues, in order to give a more concrete and visible measure. So for example, if something controversial happens with the protocol development and an alternate fork is proposed, we could gauge the community's opinion so that a) the Bitcoin Foundation's view is hardly the only one, and b) we have something more press-worthy than a forum poll. This could apply to a wide range of issues, including the attitude towards the Bitcoin Foundation, and events that occur in its lifetime as it unfolds. |

I support this idea only to counterbalance "TBF". I nominate Theymos. |

This is sick. Now we, the users, can choose between red and blue? I can predict the next movement: What about a council of ancient and wise users to judge and arbitrate conflicts in the bitcoin world?  It's not going to work. We just need to keep Bitcoin and its ecosystem the more decentralized and pseudonymous we can. |
