It is not about black helicopters or other theories about consirpacy - it is ensuring that each member has a fair voting level, and pays for their fair use of the IP resource and governance outcomes.

unfortunately, a crisp definition of 'fair' that satisfies all has not been blatantly obvious. in fact, there seem to be somewhat divergent views of fairness. which is why the community is trying to explore, discuss, feel paths toward compromise and consensus. that this is non-trivial may explain why it take some time, especially in these very diverse cultures and very diverse business interests.
