- What would be it's main priorities? (specifics - not just a generic mission statement)
- Who (or what type of people) should be in charge?
- What should be the mechanism (if any) for rotating people in and out of "power". (voting? certain groups have permanent seats? Who gets to nominate new officers? etc.)
- How much of the financial and other "inner" workings of the organization would be made public?
- Which (if any) meetings and votes should be public and which should be secret?
- What limits (if any) would you put on the amount of power/influence that the group would have overall?
- What limits (if any) would be put on any individuals and the amount of time they can serve in positions of power?
- What limits (if any) should the organization be able to put on critical opinions of their policies?
- What controls (if any) should they have over where/when/what type of events EPs can have?
- What controls (if any) should they have over coaches? gym owners? athletes?
- How should this organization be funded?
