For the time being, there will be no committee, but I will most likely
be bouncing concepts and artwork off of selected individuals. This
group of people will mostly consist of those this list who choose to
speak up and other trusted individuals, including contributors.

I suggest:
Let us give the desktop freedom.
There is one basic reason why the WWW was so successful. Anybody could
develop a site with it's own design. Individuals, Companys, etc.
That's why Linux needs a open desktop - also from an art perspective. It
will make Linux successful, also in a business world.
Anyway, this means we need themes (includinging icons and everything
which make up a theme), we need theme design tools (for the artists and
design companies, etc.)
We need a voting system for the public to vote for the default theme.
We need many themes to cover many tastes.
We need a theme database to build themes and even vote for single icons.
We don't need just single icons, we need "design systems".
I am ready to help!
Best regards,
