Odd, Matt - I thought you wanted decisions making in larger groups
like this one.
>Quicker decisions too.
But less open ones.
If you want to enlarge a decision-making body (for example, by
moving decision-making to a body called 'theforum'), then it will
take longer to be open and seen to be so. Democracy doesn't scale
well in terms of speed.
Fortunately, we're not in a hurry to get VC money - the only
timescale is our own impatience.
