Yes, we do need this.  Yes we do yes we do yes we do.  

Salsacz has outlined in another thread a similar committee just for marketing, and we need that too.  

But IMHO we also need a purely administrative foundation to think about the organization and deployment of NXT in the months to come.  This will be especially critical since CfB has said recently he is only going to work on NXT core software itself until April, then he is going off to work on another feature for NXT called Project K.  BTNext and JeanLuc hardly post here at all,  certainly not to the same degree CfB does, and that's fine - they are doing an amazing job turning out new code versions.

NXT did not exist in any form before Sept 28, 2013.  NXT has made spectacular progress from one guy's idea and original post to a functional system with hundreds of deployed nodes and a widely held coin valued at 0.00004 BTC per unit in less than four months.  Organizing a foundation is the next logical step to keep this momentum going.

Let's do it.
