Re: Fw: Re: [tsc-devel] RFC: Voting rules draft

My 2c:

The RFC looks fine, with the only thing I'd add is that calling it
Democratic might be a misnomer. When only a select set of people are
permitted to vote, it's really an Oligarchy, although we may suggest
it's a Meritocratic Oligarchy since people are supposed to be selected
based on their merit as determined by contributions as opposed to
inheritance or anything of the sort.
