That steering group is the voting group. The voting community decides the
direction of evolt.org.

Leadership of process implementation is handled within the process group.
Similarly with the action group. Or the administrative group.

How is that odd? Their responsibility is restricted to finance/legal.

Not necessarily. Our direction is not limited by our financial position in
that much of our progression relies on volunteer efforts. Right?

Tighten it up then. :)

Database of registered members. We start with what we have now (this list).
Members are admitted by a vote from existing members (as mentioned in my
proposal).

Things get done by the process and action groups by the direction of the
voting group, and/or in the spirit of the evolt.org charter.

I don't understand your reference to "piggybacking".
