And they may agree with Paul, but the point is more whether or not they're open to discuss if someone's going to say "these are the reasons I don't think we have a canonical answer". That's all we really need, right? Someone who isn't going to be like "this is the canon, the end, because I said so." Whether or not they agree with Paul isn't so much the problem, as whether or not they have the social skills to actually discuss those positions. Maybe I'm not giving them enough credit, but I never saw Maria Trimble stand up to Paul and call him on things, either. Disagree, maybe. Disagree to the point of taking a legitimate stand to not let Paul do what he wants anyway? Never seen that. From anyone.

If we could get someone that would be willing to do that (IF necessary) to run the community portion AND be an advocate for other users concerns about how canon is presented in the information.... and Paul could agree to that, and actually share his power to a degree... it may be possible.

I simply don't see that person being someone hand-picked by Paul.
