Validators start off with to much power. making their voting power flat self-stake would make everyone equal. I am suggesting √delegations + self-stake because validators are more knowledgeable than an average holder, but not so much that it creates a huge disparity like it does now.
why make a foundation council when there is already the ICF?
so long as validators vote with aggregate delegations none of this matters though, whatever councils decide on will still have to ask/convince validators to get permission to pass it. im not sure such a permissioned environment would attract builders let alone investors.
