Comment (by cypherpunks):

 @arma: Thank you!  That's a great start to what I'm looking for.  And just
 to clarify: the timeline for removing (or not) urras isn't what
 worried/worries me.

 IMO there needs to be:
 - a formal procedure for making the final decision (e.g. "Roger initiates
 a vote on <mailing list>; dirauths have 3 days to vote yes or no via PGP-
 signed email; a quorum of 7 votes is sufficient to make a decision; lack
 of quorum => no change")
 - a formal procedure for removing dirauths (rules will be different to
 accommodate excluding the instant dirauth from voting)
 - more inclusive and transparent voting process (i.e. figure out some way
 to take community input)


 These are probably better as separate issues.  Shall I create tickets for
 these and leave this ticket for tracking the issue in the title?

 -a slightly-more-happy cypherpunk
