We have, in fact, already considered the sequencing option you suggest, and decided it didn't work for the reasons I gave in an earlier comment in this thread -- where we came from has so deeply influenced the ideology of the OTW and why it came into being. This heirarchy of values may change in future, as fandom changes and the OTW changes in response. If you would like the idea to be reconsidered before then, please send it through to Community Relations.

The reason OTW has formal channels of communication is so that if something happens to individual members (if I get sick, for instance, or Sophie, who isn't a member, deletes her LJ), your ideas still get through to the right place. So while I do appreciate that you want to discuss this here, this isn't an appropriate venue (sorry, Sophie).

I agree that boogieshoes's suggestion is a good one, and it's currently under consideration.
