[sudo-discuss] Omni Commons Delegates for the Sudo Room

Also, there's a really obvious answer to this fear of cliques.

Show up to meetings.

All members have blocking power. Yay consensus.

If you're unhappy with a proposal that was passed, make a counter-proposal.
Nothing is set in stone. sudo's policies can change very quickly. We're not
waterfall; we're agile. It's better to deploy our changes regularly,
knowing we can further build on these features than make sure they're
perfect when the race starts.
