What about having two people create a pack suggestion and then posting the pack early on to the public so that others can give feedback? It's inbetween having the pack created totally by voting and doing it without any outside help. People could veto levels, or something.

Useful list of volunteers so far (alphabetical order):
Blackraptor
Birdie
Cooba
N00b

The volunteers for the pack are usually selected by the J2O admins, but really it's just the community's choice - we're not the official bash organisers, we just do it since no-one else does. So... what about some more talk here, since the community is you..
