Our goal is to grow the Proctors into a robust group which can stand by
itself, then to install it as a top level project in its own right.  To
accomplish this, we believe we must accomplish several subtasks.  Some of
these are serial, some may be performed in parallel, and some depend on
feedback from the proctors themselves.

Note:  Several proctors recently resigned.  We are willing to restore them on
two conditions: (1) None of them may serve as lead; (2) Each of them must
undergo the same reorientation/interview process as the the current proctors.

First, we must perform these tasks in order (1) to resume effective
proctoring, and (2) to establish a base line.

A.	Reorient the proctors to their tasks.  This is the first task, and we have
attached a document which can be a useful tool to help with this.

Following can be done in parallel:

B.  [Proctors] Resume proctoring.

C.  [Devrel] Interview current proctors.

At this point, we are prepared to consider the organization.  There are two
clear steps here:

D.  [Proctors/Devrel] choose a lead;

E.  [Proctors/Devrel] determine recruiting needs and recruit to achieve them.

Note:  It is impossible to predict time limits for either of these.  We do not
know if any current proctor wishes to serve as lead, nor if any would do it
well.  Recruiting is an ongoing process, and requirements can be determined
only through experience.

Meanwhile:

F.  [Council/Devrel/Proctors]  Complete the Code of Conduct.  Some pieces are
obviously missing (e.g., appeals, if even meaningful).  Much of the rest of
the document is "live" right now, meaning it will evolve with immediate
experience.  All we mean by this is that the Code does not describe an ideal;
it reflects what our user/developer base do and find acceptable.

G.	[Proctors/Devrel/Council]  Policies and Procedures guide.  We can build an
outline now, reflecting practices the proctors have found (and are finding)
to be effective.  Again, this is a living document:  In the early stages, we
can document current practices in so far as they have proven to be effective
and reasonable.

==================================

It is vital in this process that (1) proctors understand what they are
supposed to achieve, and (2) They are proctoring.  While the other tasks are
important, most of them can be completed only with experience, and so we must
ensure the proctors the opportunity to gain that experience.
