I know it makes me sound a little slow, but I had to read that three times before I figured out what you were saying. It's not your fault, but that is a very interesting turn of phrase.
Regarding all the leadership talk, I really don't think it's worth changing CEO's. It's not like Stav's gone completely AWOL (*cough* ben *cough*), and as it stands, all the members have pretty much the same level of authority with some using it better than others. Take JR, setting up plenty of rooms and spreading the Mallala message all the time makes him the perfect choice for a new leader. The counter opposite would be myself, who rarely shows up to these sessions and has barely even touched a drift car in the past couple of months. Both of us have the same power, but JR uses it a lot more effectively, and personally that's what I like about this group. There isn't really a single leader, more of a group of individuals who make decisions with everyone getting there say and a guy who (basically) just have to update the OP with new info.
To take this further, I like the freedom we currently have and having a hands on concentrated leader may just cause frustration for them and the team. With such a small and loose team as we have, a leader may find themselves annoyed at the lack of motivation in the group, causing a wedge to be shoved in between the team and it's leader- which, lets face it, would be a very quick way to kill a team and community.
