"Regarding a wita as opposed to the size of the theod - why were you waiting?"
It's a poor analogy, but would you set a High Rede of 3 people in place when the group numbered only 8? Right now there is no need as I see it; we currently meet in person at least twice a month and have ample opportunity to discuss things. While we're not quite a consensus... we are pretty damn close.
As to a requirement, there is none. Sure there are examples of a witan or witenagemot... but it is by no means a universal component of Germanic tribalism or lordship.
I'm waiting because I can afford to, and because I'm still thinking on a few points of minutiae. Writing it out helps direct and archive my thoughts. :)
