Yes we need that. There are a few possible conflicts in requirements 
that need to be discussed. For example, a resource management req
would be to be able to move a process from one group to another and 
C/R wouldn't.

IMO, 2 is a minimum to get the work done (it will require a minimum of 
organization) but the moderators don't necessarily have to be from the 
same team.

Or, having some one in charge of the logistics would be better ? In that
case, you can remove me from the moderators.

Good thing.
