So far 3 people spoke in favor of it (Derek, Christian and me) and one stated no interest (John) via a private conversation. I count the silent voices to agree with whatever gets decided, otherwise they could have spoken up. Do you think 3 people is too few to get a decision structure set up ? Also, perhaps many people have no interest in helping to create a decision structure, but don't oppose to having one.
