# Post-Daniel BDFL
At the point in a future when Daniel steps away from the project and stops
being the project lead, there is reason to reconsider how to keep driving the
project forward. Countries, companies and organizations have a single
president or CEO for a reason; having a single leader that responsibly can
take quick daily decisions is efficient. Without Daniel as BDFL, either
someone else needs to step up and become president, or the project needs to
adopt a council-driven process. Maybe both? Maybe vote a new project leader
for one year or a few years at a time?
Deciding the replacement person and governance is a subject for the curl core
team to vote on. When that happens, this section of this document should also
get updated.
