The problem with this proposal is that it removes the community's voice from the spec creation process. Our members should always be given the option to vote NOT TO create a working group as well as the option to vote TO create one. Otherwise, a working group can be created by a very small group of insiders, without the community serving as a check & balance.
The current procedure, by design, always gives the community a voice, and the final say. I believe we got this principle right the first time.

Seems this has some support and it would require a board and membership vote to implement, correct? Is there a motion to the board to make this change and a second? If so, we can start the notification clock for a board vote.
Cheers,
Brian

I think that approval by the specs-council should be sufficient without a membership vote to start a WG. Alternatively, if the specs-council does not recommend approval, then the WG proposers could then appeal their case to the full membership.

Guys: If you think the initial membership voting requirement is an
overkill, please raise your voice. I think this board can act swiftly
to look at it.
