The vote.

Any representational or governing body will be a "small set of persons". 
Depending on which sense of "representative" you are using, the vote 
rings true given my experience of OSM debates around licencing and OSMF 
is as open and responsible or more so than other Free projects.

Anyone can join OSMF.
