> Revisiting a founding, structural aspect of the Coop requires community buy-in. And that means you should be dealing with a cross-functional team. @BigSky7 and @verto0912 come to mind and have stepped forward to provide feedback (including different views on who should negotiate). But I actually feel much better as a Coop member knowing both are weighing in and thinking about it.

That makes sense. Thank you for your time and energy on this and getting a cross-functional group together.

Completely understand changing the foundation requires community buy-in. I would not feel comfortable including an alternative structure in a DG2 vote for DATA if it did not have broad consensus.
