Thanks to you too, for bringing this discussion. As for myself, I do
not feel I understand the "dynamics at place" fully enough to weigh in
on specific matters.

And I'm fine with that in principle (well, not fine, but I think it
can be excused given our current size), but as yet I'm not convinced
that we really need "emergency dictators". My understanding is that we
actually need "emergency operators", i.e. people that have the access
required to push through changes that we have already agreed upon to
make. That's why I asked what actual powers we are to bestow on the new
members.

Maybe I'm just picking nits here, but to me there is a wide gap between
"authority to make decisions" and "authorization to make changes". To
me it appears (and I admit this is a limited understanding) we need the
latter.
