No, you are right - if I understood you correctly. The community always
has the final say. If we can't get your trust it all ends there. As it
should.

Election process - as I have tried to explain, there is no such process
in place to use today. So no, we decided to just "do it" and we are
hoping for you all to help us. For the next 6-12 months or whatever it
turns out to be.

Regarding Michael, he has done lots for Squeak during the years and even
if he hasn't been that active lately he did recently take the initiative
for the SqF formation together with Stephane. And Michael is in short a
great guy with connections back in time. :)
