I had a conversation a couple of weeks ago with some folk about the governance of KIXP. I made some recommendations about 8yrs ago regarding the setup of a structure that would allow for the unfettered growth and resilience of the exchange. It is sad that individuals at that time who wanted to control the exchange resisted these. Now, when we are faced with these, and other symptoms of the root cause, some of us can only shake our heads. (Yes, I am doing a lot of that lately)<div>
