For the simple reason that distributed drafting doesn't work (at some point,
someone has to sit in front of the text input device and bang some keys -
definite single point of failure there).

I fail to see where this violates the MoU/WP as well - if there is consensus
in the <insertforumname> that the designate rep should take a position
forward and if that rep is successful in convincing the other TF members
that the position is a GoodThing(TM) then that position will be reflected in
whatever output the TF produces.

In my mind, this is a much healthier process than the working groups because
the various positions from each group already constitutes rough consensus
leaving the TF almost solely to deal with how the various positions best fit
together. This stands in stark contrast to the WG proceedings that I have
seen to this point that see the WG dealing with procedural wrangling due to
the sheer volume of participants. The TF model is certainly more removed
from the front line, but then again, not every citizen gets a seat in the
house of representatives anyways...
