The MPR Chair envisions committees, "forwarding their material to a
designated, fulltime ICOM webmaster for editing and uploading
(Immediately!!)."
INTERCOM wants, "the pure and simple availability of space on the
ICOM server."
The ICTOP Chair, "honestly think[s] . . . the server is really the
least of the worries."
Diversity of opinion is the spice of life but in the present case it
does suggest that there may not be a consensual basis for
establishing central corporate procedures.
However much I would love to see ICOM able to accomdate each of its
Committees on an individually determined service level, I don't
personally see any such thing on the horizon. (Speaking here as a
concerned member of the organization.)
I agree fully with Patrick:

The ability to provide the nomenclatural basis for this is more
complex than may be realized and is not a trivial contribution to
establishing a strong organizational identity on the Internet for
ICOM, without in any way reducing the autonomy of the Committees.
