Regarding appointment, I've thought of this a little bit. In practice, even though the Cabinet is the organ responsible for things like LegComm and Justice appointments, the Cabinet works with those institutions to find good individuals. What we can do is to say that Cabinet is generally responsible for appointments, be it Court, DC, CSI, whatnot, except that the Cabinet is required by law to cooperate with those institutions in good faith for their appointments. That might be something that makes everybody .. maybe not happy, but content.

Otherwise, to recap, this looks to be roughly the approach we're going to take (minus the specifics on appointments):

• The CRS and LegComm are dissolved.
  
• The DC (Defense Council) is formed, consisting of high-influence high-endorsement nations.
  
• The CSI (Council on Security and Intelligence) is formed, consisting of trusted individuals with, ideally, experience in regional security.
  
• The DC's requirements are the mechanical requirements of the current CRS (maybe slightly adjusted to fit with the times), plus approval by the CSI.
  
• The DC tracks and looks after things like SWAN and enforces the endocap as per CSI recommendation.
  
• The Delegate must be a legislator and either on the DC or be otherwise eligible for DC.
  
• The CSI handles Legislator Applications.
  

Some questions for the crowd:

• Do we want a chairman/chairwoman for the CSI and the DC? If so, should this be "the most senior willing member" or something else?
  
• How do we want to appoint? (see my first paragraph in this post)
  
• Would we want to formalize a separation between junior and senior CSI members?
