He can correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume that the final spec will be released under some
sort of public domain license. Per the FAQ the goal appears to be to submit it to IETF and/or
IANA.

Perhaps controversial, but we should not do this. Elections in a small, niche online community
are a quick path to capture by groups who don't have the community's best interest in mind.
I've seen this happen many times.
