Some great community discussion going on here, well done! I've made my preferences known before, so I'll stay out of the discussion for now. What I would suggest is we start trying to establish what the different 'options' we'll have for the vote.
If you have a strong opinion on how we should distribute the remaining ORA assets (i.e. the left over stakes from the initial distribution) then consider presenting a brief summary of the option for other people to consider. Maybe if everyone uses a common format it'll be easier for the 'collective' to hone in on the proposals with the most consensus. Some people are making general suggestions which are very useful, but some are offering a complete plan.
Maybe present options like this:
ORA distribution option:[YOUR USERNAME] - version X
- blah blah
- blah blah
etcIf you modify your 'option' after getting feedback, repost the modified version with a different version number. Once you're happy change the version number to FINAL
If we follow a process like this it might help. Some of us have a complete plan in mind, but others might choose to support someone else's plan, but suggest a modification.
If ORA is to succeed, and we end up using some form of 'voting' system then we'll need to develop our own processes, similar to how a parliament works I guess.
In most parliamentary systems new 'bills' are submitted for debate, and some will choose to support the bill, some will try and amend it slightly, and some will reject it completely and put up a rival 'bill'. As ORA is leaderless we don't have anything like a government or a President/Prime minister, but we do have a parliament of sorts (i.e. this forum), and so all our 'bills' would be known as a 'private members bill', at least in my country.
If we're to work effectively together then there'll obviously be many different opinions, and if we end up having as many options to vote on as interested people it'll become very difficult to move forward. We need a process that listens to everyone's opinions, and then forms those into a few basic 'options' which can be amended slightly, and then when supporters of the different options are satisfied with their amended final version, we vote.
Let's not fool ourselves, this process WILL be very difficult at times. If the process completely breaks down you can end up with people rejecting the process, and you have a civil war, and maybe a dissolution of your community, or some form of break up, or maybe even a dictator steps in to tell everyone what to do.
It's still worth doing even if it's hard
