Before commenting further I suggest to put the paragraph that is being discussed on top of the email - benevolent dictator sounds much worse than what is being proposed.
The Governance model includes a statement: "In all issues, the PSC strives to achieve unanimous consent based on a free, independent exchange of facts and opinions. Should such consent exceptionally not be reached then Peter Baumann has a casting vote." http://www.rasdaman.org/wiki/Governance This sounds pretty inclusive to me it but it seems to me that it needs to be reformulated - it does not say how do you measure whether you have consent (the discussions on dev issues can get pretty messy and open ended) - you really need to have a vote on that which is what Cameron has suggested.
