fedora-art-list is not a democracy, but rather a meritocracy.  The vast 
majority of the work there has been done by volunteers, with Máirín 
Duffy doing most of the community outreach and communication.  Not 
everyone there has equal decision making power.  Those who have done 
work and gained respect from others gain greater authority.  From merit, 
some clear community leaders have emerged like Nicu Buculei.

Is this not how a Fedora Project should be run?

The Fedora Project Board decided, the community process is to be 
followed and the result of that will be used in Fedora 7 pending the 
Board's approval.

This is NOT YOUR DECISION.  This is the Board's decision.

I will discuss this in public, because the Fedora Project should be 
transparent and open.
