Technical Management of the KERI Foundation is appointed to Sam Smith as long as he wishes to perform this role and is capable of doing so. Because of his special background as the KERISuite inventor and co-founder of the KF, implementations should be in full width and non-negotiably vetoable by him for as long as he’s in a Technical Management position.
Apart from him, no other individual in this future position will have a veto right.
