People in general don't yet see the need to move beyond the #feudalism that shapes much of #FOSS governance. Because of this energy goes into defending existing structures and #blocking alternatives before they've have a chance to prove themselves.
That's one reason the #OGB approach is simple: build it permissionlessly and let it loose. People will see the value, or they won't.
The goal isn't to convince a small group of gatekeepers. It's to empower a much larger group of people to participate in technology, build consensus, and push the social agenda they actually need.
Less permission. More practice. It's a #KISS approach to #openweb governance.
