Thank you for this overview, @ats-david. I think it's pretty clear, and hopefully will help those who for whatever reasons didn't know what the foundation was for, or what it was attempting to do. If not, maybe more pounding the message will be necessary? Some folks just aren't going to get it, and some of it may be because they don't want to. You can only do what you can do.

That said, I'm also glad to hear you will be a part of it if things continue the way you feel that it should to be comfortable participating. I hope that becomes apparent soon, rather than later.

I'm also glad to read someone else realizing that "something different" doesn't necessarily equate to better. Jumping from the frying pan into the fire, or even vice versa, isn't exactly what we want either.

Tamping down expectations, until something is actually accomplished, and then continuing to keep that in perspective is as about as good as it gets. There's nothing worse than celebrating that you won before the game is truly over.

Given how things are here, it might be inevitable that there will at least be a few folks you'd rather not have involved. I guess the idea there would be to ensure that no single individual, or minority group, has any more say or pull than any other, so that things remain balanced. I would also hope that those involved can feel that what they're doing is purposeful, worthwhile, and good for the blockchain and the community, even if they disagree with this or that. That's the way these things should work, where the individual agenda is either a part of the whole, or set aside somewhat for the greater good. I'm sure there will be more than one way to go about this, and finding the right temperature and speed will be the ongoing trick.
