Oh, I don't know. The guy that always has something along the lines of:

   No, one more time, I do NOT need your "leadership", sir.
   Please just GET OUT OF MY WAY.                                .''`.
   Debian -- The blue collar Linux distribution.               : :' :
   <URL:http://www.debian.org/social_contract>	         `. `'

in his sig suddenly deciding we need to have some sort of steering
committee to make this club work the way someone thinks it ought
to?

As to your distinction between "ruling authority" and "representative
body," that's little more than a matter of degree. Besides, who made the
decision that the membership wants, or even needs, "representation?"
