The namespace http://www.w3.org/ns/opengov can and should be controlled
by the W3C Open Government Community Group and the vocabularies should
be hosted there.

That is what needs to be done.

We also need some documented elementary procedures for the CG, but not
much more than necessary. The Rough Consensus document published by the
IETF is a good start.

Yes, I expect persistent URLs to be used for both the vocabularies and
the Linked Data using those vocabularies.
