Looking forward, it seems obvious to me that some work should be done to
ensure a reasonable standardization of these mechanisms, so that e.g. if I
were to take part in another WG, I'd instantly know how these procedures
worked.

It's difficult enough to be a fresh WG participant without having to expend
extra time on reading and understanding different procedures.

And I suppose this is your fear, that having too detailed procedures could
be demotivating to WG participants.

It would be less potentially demotivating with a concise, common procedure
set.

I'm not saying that it is demotivating, and I still think that the general
idea of how to handle governance is sufficiently sound to proceed with.
