Since "governance" primarily effects library authors, their viewpoints should probably carry the greatest weight.
There are two governing entities associated with Boost: * The Foundation which controls the boost.org domain and wowbagger server (hosting the website and mailing lists). * The Developers, defined as the set of users in the Boost GitHub Organization with the Owner role, plus their designated proxies. With Alliance as the governing entity of boost.org and its cloud services, authors will notice little to no impact on their libraries, as it is always the Developers who have unambiguous authority. Boost would see significant effects from Alliance efforts to increase participation in the project, and these efforts would be external to the repositories in the Boost GitHub Organization and thus not impact authors. However authors would be affected by seeing a new website when visiting boost.org (check out the preview at https://boost.io) so in this sense the governance affects them. Yet this too is under the dominion of the Developers, as the new website has been donated to the Boost GitHub Organization, where meaningful changes go through the existing pull-request-based approval workflow.
