Whatever it ends up being, it needs to have some teeth to it. Otherwise, 
we're going to end up in the exact same place we're in now, where each 
project does something slightly different.

That could mean putting the working group under the user committee and 
giving it teeth via some policy that would allow the group to look over 
proposed API changes *before* the code that implements the API was 
merged into an OpenStack project.
