I agree. The governance and other decisions should remain with the core members 
who believe and support the hardline stance.

In comparison to democratic governance of a nation, a government doesn't ask 
for views / vote from every citizen on every matter. We trust our 
representatives to speak for us and take decisions in the best interest of the 
nation.

Let's have faith in the board members of the FSF and at the same time keep a 
check on them. It is our responsibility to keep writing/talking to them to not 
let them deviate from the principles and ethics it was founded on and for.

Nishant
