There is interest, in a foundation. What will be chosen is what will be. A nice thing about this whole process, is like I have read in other post the chosen one does not need to be the only one. people are now up to and aware that small groups can make a difference in the quality of steem, and have learned that steem does not need to just stay residing on the block chain. That it can go off-track so to speak to reach a wider segment of the worlds population. Free power/electricity for a few from steem powered projects, a worthy goal.
