Democracy has its good and bad points.  Rapid process is seldom given as one of its strengths.

I agree.

I hope it's clear that all I'm trying to do is decouple the time for a jump-start from the time needed for due process, chaordic or not.  I know it isn't democratic, but think of it as XP -- we get to test during development ;-).

As for my self-declared term of 5 months, if there's consensus on a better structure or different bindings before June 1, I'll be happy to go with it.
