How will the KERI foundation eventually become independent of individuals?

We invented a role-based organizational chart. So, yes, the foundation is already independent of individuals, except that the BDFL role is reserved for Dr. Samuel M. Smith.

Trying to become independent of the original inventor too early would be a significant error, especially in the KERI case and because of our stage. Not to mention the apparent lack of respect for the work done, which oozes from an approach to try and outnumber the critical roles with voting power, this setup has failed before (and will again), not only in KERI’s history but in numerous other open-source projects.
