Should we begin this discussion? I can put together an email for the
developers list (but probably not till next week).

I had a good conversation with Josh and Jon at SCALE, and also had a
good discussion previously at GSoC Mentor Summit with Tav.
Based on these discussions, I have a suggestion: perhaps it would make
sense to start a thread on the public Inkscape developers list about the
FSA's Representation section and what leadership provisions the
community would like to see about it. I'd be happy to subscribe to the
list temporarily and participate in the discussion as well, if you'd
like me to.
Conservancy would like the Representation section to really represent
the natural leadership structure of the Inkscape community. The one we
have now was written very long ago, and I presume there have been
changes in how the community works since then. Perhaps it's therefore a
good time to go back to the developer community as a whole and consider
it?
This is, of course, just a suggestion. It's really up to this Committee
to decide on what Representation section it wants in the new Fiscal
Sponsorship Agreement, and Conservancy will guide the drafting of it.
Regardless of how you'd like to proceed, I hope we can get moving on
this last little bit and get the FSA updated.
Let me know what you decide. If you want to start a public discussion,
it might help to point people to the possible structures found in the
template:

although those are by no means exhaustive.
