Keep in mind that the changes in reporting structure make it NOT the status quo. |

Today you need to elect people you trust to deal with dispute |
| 11 |
resolution to the Council, and people who you trust to file taxes to |
| 12 |
the Trustees. |

Under the new proposal you basically need to elect people you trust to |
| 15 |
deal with dispute resolution and taxes to the Trustees. Honestly I'm |
| 16 |
not sure why we'd even have the Council since we already have QA and |
| 17 |
if somebody doesn't like a Council decision it will end up with the |
| 18 |
Trustees anyway, if only for them to decide whether or not they want |
| 19 |
to deal with it. |

People who would otherwise be interested in Council can just run for |
| 22 |
the Trustees and override all the Council decisions, and ignore the |
| 23 |
finances if it bores them. :) |

My main concern is finding people who are both the most trusted people |
| 26 |
where it comes to disputes and who are trusted to handle the finances |
| 27 |
is going to be difficult. For things that don't involve disputes you |
| 28 |
don't need any kind of escalation body since regular projects can deal |
| 29 |
with that stuff already. Dealing with disputes is inevitably going to |
| 30 |
fall on whoever has the final decision, because it is the nature of |
| 31 |
people in disputes to appeal anything less than that. |
