Election of a “Temporary dictator”
Randomly select 3 people from pool of Developers+Trusted Users They can opt-out, in which case a new person is selected (at random) to replace them Alternatively, they may “campaign” for one of their opponents Non-chosen Developers and TUs then vote for the new leader in an instant-run-off vote They serve for 1 year Rationale: anything more is too much to ask as a time commitment via random process
“Reluctant leaders are the best leaders” More likely to delegate (good!)
“I better run cause my I don’t have confidence in my opponents” The 2 people effectively have an effecitve way to “veto” an opponent
“If I get elected I can just delegate to $UNAVAILABLE_CANDIDATE” If you are elected and don’t want the job, you are free to delegate your powers as you desire
Why a dictator? Reduce points of contact required to get approval/permission to do something
