This doesn't do anything to establish the membership and accountability of either this "Infrastructure Team", and the "temporary administration" of The PHP Foundation itself has continued to fail to deliver on its nearly five-year-old promise to establish governance procedures of its own, and it appears to be content to continue operating that way indefinitely, so I don't believe it is in the interest of the PHP project to wait for that. > I'd ask that this RFC be deferred until the governance framework is in > place.

The governance framework we have now is the RFC process, and even if you want to characterize this as ratifying a decision that was made unilaterally by someone, doing that by RFC is the process we have.
