Open Source Way Wrong Model

With a JSR you need to have a small number of architects. Managing it like an Open Source project would lead to way too many cooks in the kitchen.

That assertion is not supported by facts. The most praised JSR ever, Doug Lea's concurrency JSR has been run as an open source project.

I don't think there is anything wrong with an expert group meeting in private to discuss ideas and issues. However, I think all decision making should be done in a forum that can be viewed publicly. The arguments for or against each issue being decided should be publicly available. I don't think the public should necessarily be involved in the decision making process but there should be a public forum where anyone can ask questions and give feedback to the expert group.
