I think that your argument that a potential third party controlled by a 
subset of the
Boost Developers is not meaningfully different to the Boost Foundation 
is incorrect:

1. The Boost Foundation is not controlled by a subset of the Boost 
Developers.
2. Either way, the community might opt to choose a different party in 
charge of
stewardship for other reasons in connection to the Boost Foundation, 
such as: the
current composition of the board, past actions/inactions, lack of focus 
on the Boost
Project itself, etc. Some of these concerns have been touched on by 
Peter Dimov and
John Maddock (and maybe others).

Now that the Boost Foundation has opened up to questioning its very role 
in order
to solve this issue (congratulations on that), we shouldn't be 
pre-ordaining the
options the community can choose from.

This mail is not an endorsement on my side of the "third way" or any 
other; I'll
speak my mind when the conversation progresses, and if necessary.

Best,
