Likely too many XGovs, which makes the decision making process superficial, ineffective and inefficient.
XGovs are not necessarily qualified (in terms of having the expertise, experience, knowledge, a vision, etc.) or willing/able to commit enough time/effort (20+ hours per week).
No effective way for the direct collaboration (for example having weekly meetings due to the high number of XGovs) among them except probably using online forums.
Proposals will be limited in nature and likely won’t satisfy a unified long-term strategy. Instead a lot of time is spent discussing them, which is mostly wasted effort.
There is a big chance that this process causes great unhappiness and sadness in the community, and therefore leads to many people leaving Algorand for good.
A similar process has been used by DASH for quite a few years. The outcome has been quite disappointing (if not a disaster). For more details see this post.
Alternative Proposal:
5 to 10 (the exact number can be debated) XGovs are elected (on-chain voting) by the governors after reviewing their publicly shared past record and resume. XGovs are expected to be among the most qualified people in the community for the XGov role.
XGovs are responsible to represent governors in various decision making processes including reviewing and approving proposals/measures for governors votes. They have regular meetings among themselves, with the foundation and the community and ensure the highest priority concerns are heard and acted on.
XGOVs must lock $XXX ALGO each for the XGov period.

We need more clarification on XGov responsibilities. We can start with a smaller set like deciding on proposals and also being a more productive communication channel between the Algofam and the foundation.

We should define what xGovs should do. My concern is about inequality arising from having two levels of governors and how that affects grant decisions.
Post Remarks by awesomecrypto on Dec 22, 2022
It appears that xGov responsibilities should focus on improving the community's long-term growth and adoption, not just distribution of grants.

I believe xGovs will evolve over time. Each governance element should integrate community feedback and results.

I inquired about the timeline for disclosing the governance advisory committee members.

The exact date for committee member disclosure is still undetermined but discussions will begin soon.
