Proposal aims for decentralized, democratized XRP Ledger’s governance

David Fuelling, an XRP Ledger developer, published a proposal to update the governance structure of the XRP Ledger Foundation. This is a significant development since Fuelling calls for the governance to be decentralized and member-driven.

The developer proposes that there is increased representation of stakeholders in the XRPLedger community and they are able to formally influence the affairs of the foundation. A more formalized membership could help facilitate the same and increase the participation of stakeholders. Higher contribution in the form of time, money and resources could help further XRPLedger foundation’s success.
