fundamental flaw with GDC?

[Uberbots]

i think your main point here (GDC consists of people that are mostly uninvolved) is kind of untrue and rather insulting; as jessieK said dave is a prime counterexample to this. It would be unfair not to say that everyone else on that committee is either heavily involved or was heavily involved with mentoring a team. How do you think they got there?

And hey, we have the best GAC here- CheifDelphi. i'm betting you more than half the revisions to the set of rules over the years have resulted in contradictions found by the mentors and students who visit this site. Sure the process occurs later than your proposed GAC, but the collective minds of the thousands of people here and elsewhere are much more prone to finding loopholes and bugs than a group of 5-10 privileged people.
