Should there be a governance organization for the Fediverse?

@evan I thik that we should first clarify what exactly "governance organization" means in this case.
-
@evan What does governance mean here?
-
@evan Yeah, I still don’t get how it specifically applies to the Fediverse. We have the W3C as the governance (or at least standards) body for the protocol. What would a “governance organization” of the Fediverse do?
-
@drahardja what an interesting question for you to think through!
-
@evan
OK then. -
@drahardja cool. It sounds like for you it would depend on what the structure of the organization was, who was involved, and so on? Maybe that's a qualified yes or a qualified no.
-
@drahardja maybe you think there's more context that I'm not sharing or something? I don't understand your questions.
-
@drahardja maybe if you can't think of what a governance organization for the Fediverse would be or do, you should answer "strong no".
-
@evan @drahardja WTF @evan
The poll is moot. There *is* a governance organization.
What is the point of the poll?
-
@pixel @drahardja which organization are you talking about?
-
@evan @drahardja The W3C?
Am I missing something?
-
@pixel @drahardja OK, that's what I thought!
I'll write up an answer after the poll is done.
-
@evan @drahardja ok.
FYI, I generally love your polls
-
@pixel @drahardja thanks, I appreciate it! I'm not trying to be cryptic, but I usually like to write up all my thoughts once the poll is done.

@evan The issue with the poll is it doesn't say what sort of governance. You'll probably get a split of answers depending on if people think its governance of the protocols or of the operation.

@smallsees I guess you could read it as "any governance organization" then.
