Let's not hurry... if the currently ongoing discussion eventually results
in a refereed computer go journal the process is rather matter of several
months or years than one of a couple of days. So putting a referee list
out now is IMHO premature if something. Of course suggestions on any of
the two lists now are useful for the discussion, but let's be polite and
not *nominate* anybody as a referee.

I would like to first gain some kind of consensus on whether the whole
idea is one to work forward or not, then on what kind of referee board
would be best, then on who would be persons that both the computer go
community and the scientific community in general would approve, and then
to hear the personal opinions of those suggested prior to nominating
anybody anywhere.
