Though I did initially express interest in whatever this thing is, I am respectfully declining participating in this. I do appreciate the sentiment @valued-customer :)
From all of what I have seen happening here and the chaos around it, in the current state and how I see this going, it is just too chaotic and a time sink. Having the entire community elect who they think is competent is not a winning strategy. This same process would not be done when applying for a job. I fear that there isn't going to be any real criteria screening out a pure popularity contest/known figures/witnesses who everyone knows.
I am not interested in participating in such a thing where masses of uninformed people elect a group to get coding/work/marketing done.
I hope that this project improves and does well, and I wish everyone well in taking on this endeavor. If I am wrong in my assessment of this whole thing then that is a positive thing :)
EDIT:
I wrote up a post explaining some more of my thoughts on the subject, and the inherent problems I forsee the Steem Alliance running into should they choose to go with Staked Voting/Popular Voting.
