I like the idea of the hybrid model, and keeping mining part of the process while enabling a fair and transparent governance model.  The section on code as law is sobering, and I look forward to seeing the direction we take as a community on this front.  Earning trust will be essential.

This is an opportunity to create a roadmap based on the community's combination of experience and cutting edge knowledge -- which confirms and enhances trust in the unsullied blockchain.  

Thank you for the kick-start and being willing to take the brunt of the abuse for stepping up.
