The individuals named in the endorsement—Kanzure, RubenSomsen, Seccour, Jon Atack, and Roasbeef—are recognized for their potential contributions to this task.

This approach underlines the importance of collective decision-making in the development and implementation of BIPs, ensuring that the process remains inclusive and representative of the wider community's views.
