No. The whole point, and only point, of the bootstrap is to establish that you agree to whom you are responsible, and exactly who is able to vote you out of power should you do something silly. If you don't approve the list of people who successfully voted you into office, then the current OGB is nullified and we are back to step 1 -- no constitution, no OGB, and no energy left. You are effectively saying that you were never elected in the first place, and thus are unable to govern. Just approve the list of people. It is only a two year grant for core contributors, and a simple acknowledgment of contributors. The community structure can still be restructured and new core contributors selected according to the community process. ....Roy
