I completely agree with you. After getting a feel from the community, myself
and other key contributors will make the final decision. I believe that once
a direction for Xubuntu has been set, we'll be able to develop a concrete
roadmap and avoid certain conflicts that have arisen in the past due to the
current ambiguity.

Points 3&4 I think can be much more up for debate and planning.

This is currently in progress and will be officially announced after the
meeting.
