I agree, the decision should be primarily after the Boost community,
i.e. the people who will actually be affected by the decision. IMO, the
wider C++ community should be made aware of the proceedings to avoid
confusion regarding the Boost project, but comments from outside the
project should be taken with a fair grain of salt, if at all. But, of
course, weighting of opinions is the review manager's prerogative.

Re. who constitutes the Boost community, it should obviously include
library authors and maintainers, as well as people who regularly
contribute to library and infrastructure maintenance. People affiliated
with either party whose proposal is being reviewed should clearly state
their affiliation in their reviews.
