One primary to coordinate, and secondaries (i.e. Brad is a secondary since he wanted to tackle finance stuff for the world) to do things like you mentioned.
Seeing players in Artania not being able to find a good storyline to kick off something? RP a comet or hurricane as a Whale Island secondary. Basically non committal stuff for those who enjoy engaging/amplifying other stories more than creating their own.
And nomad-style, like you said, just roleplaying from Whale Island as part of WC's institutions (i.e. a big astronomy array detects the comet).
It does require coordinating a bit, but the idea (as you nailed) is players like that have no agenda for themselves.

You can hop on Whale Island as a secondary if you want, give it a spin, put it in action, see how it goes.
I don't quite think that Whale Island being underneath any players control is a good thing. The World Congress has continually been gutted and changed and this last "reform" has ultimately killed the organization from what it was. I think any one player controlling Whale Island outside of a "World Congress Coordinator" would be detrimental to the game.
