Me either.

And thanks muchly for that! progress on overall org goals had stagnated. a
good sharp poke was a good thing.

What I think Tim meant here (and what I KNOW I mean here) is this:
Setting up the voting mechanism to elect the LSC will help resolve the
current ambiguity as a second order effect. It is NOT the LSC's job to bring
structure to ldraw.org. But bringing the LSC into existance with the
election mechanism that's being proposed will nevertheless drive structure
into ldraw.org.
Once that election mechanism is in place (meaning, once the ldraw.org
membership has self selected itself and binsorted itself into qualified to
vote (to ratify) on LSC proposals, and just general interest guys, and the
voting mechanism itself is established) it's natural to move beyond where we
are now. The current structure can be replaced with a more formal structure,
the current steering committee can be replaced with an elected one and lots
of other good things.
None of that is the LSC's job. It's the 4+1's job and the community's job.
The LSC is just the push to make it happen, at last, after much talk-talk.
Let's do the things that will enable the 4+1 to be replaced them with an
elected steering committee. But bootstrapping an org takes work. The LSC is
a good reason to finally do that work.
(I see Tim posted a response to your post as well, saying the same thing in
different words... that's good)
Hope that helps.
