Eg. a council of elders.
They would cover for Bob when he gone.
And ultimately then maybe this site would become more 'ours', and not so much just 'His'.
My main problem is with Bobs in and out, and his judgement about some things is not what I like. he's not really that invested in Babble, yet to those who post here, it is 'home', and that is a HUGE thing. People should have some degree of safety and autonomy in their own 'home'. Then they can feel more able to more fully share etc.au·ton·o·my noun
plural au·ton·o·mies
Definition of AUTONOMY
1: the quality or state of being self-governing; especially : the right of self-government
2: self-directing freedom and especially moral independence
3: a self-governing stateA council could override Bob(an effective council would).
The balance of power would shift.
I would have more trust(over time anyways) that a broader group of people might better have the interests of the 'present' community at heart.
I think it might be a challenge for the elders council at times....but it could possibly work.
The ONLY way I would be interested in being a part of all this would be if Bob was willing to relinquish some of his control.
Ultimately, he would be the highest authority still.
And he could be the techie guy as he is good at that.
And then he himself can feel more free to participate somewhat, ask questions, study about topics etc...
