Not just that, but weaning the community off its dependency on
the distribution that happens to confusingly share the community's
name but is really a closed venture over which we have no influence.

Great idea. Not what the current OGB, as the OGB, is chartered to do.
The OGB would really have to quit the current system and reform in
some other guise, or a new body would have to take this on.

So the OGB would have to violate its own rules and act contrary to
what we were elected for. Again, the OGB would really have to quit
the current system and reform in some other guise, or new people
could start afresh.

For all this, anybody could have done it over the past 5 years or
so. Anybody still can.
