[ALAC] [At-Large] Idea for an alternative to the EMM proposed in the At-Large Review

Tue Feb 14 19:22:10 UTC 2017

+1 to the 3 points listed as well. However, this effort already started
both at RALO and ALAC level (before the current review).

I think one of the challenge with a volunteer community is the burnout
tendency, hence that effort may seem slow, but there is also a possibility
that if we are able to accelerate the efforts, it will ultimately reduce
burnout rate.
