Thanks, manonamora and zarf!

As another example of what future plans can look like, I’m going to quote some of the rules from the IFDB Awards:

Future of Awards

One of the main purposes of these new awards is to be community-owned and regular. They need to keep working even if I don’t keep working.

The awards begin on February 1st of each year. If Feb 1st passes without the current organizer having created the polls, anyone can create the polls themselves.

The community can propose new changes to awards or new organizers via public discussion. A public yes/no poll on intfiction with more than 50% voting yes can be used to add new organizers. Current organizers can also add in other organizers or successors, subject to a public veto.

I appreciate how there’s even a built-in method to choose new organizers, to limit uncertainty and controversy as much as possible.
