The BIP can be found at: https://github.com/tomasvdw/bips/blob/master/decentralized-improvement-proposals.mediawiki I believe this BIP could mitigate the risk of forks, and decentralize the development of the protocol. If you consider the proposal worthy of discussion, please assign a BIP-number. Regards, Tomas van der Wansem
