I see you've taken this as an US vs THEM stance again.  It's not.  The fact is 
there _are_ community people in the release team and as far as I've seen 
they're just as interested in just getting work done than spending the next 2 
weeks arguing over how to structure the governance, meeting schedule, voting 
style, reporting officers, etc...  In fact, I'd go so far as to say that 
everybody _but_ me in the group is a community member.  I am the only person 
that is paid to release engineer Fedora.  Everybody else participates outside 
their normal day job which would make them community members regardless of 
who their employer is.
