That is not necessarily a meta problem.  People do not like to waste 
their time and energy being ignored.

Very few people are going to participate in a process that involves 
yakking some trivia to death and then waiting breathlessly to see what 
the Board or designated agents will decide all by themselves via secret 
information, interests, and discussion without exhibiting much evidence 
they even bothered to read the yak yak.
