So to summarize, it looks like there are four options currently being discussed:
(1) Keep everything exactly as it has been (this implies rejecting Claire's original proposal to drop voting). (2) Drop voting, put everything in the track chairs' hands. [...]
The second is a slight mischaracterization. Even with the status quo, everything is already entirely in the hands of the track chairs.
With the help of the community, who do provide input. By putting "everything" in the track chairs' hands I meant not only the final decision, but reviewing talks, ranking and selecting them completely among themselves, without community input — which what dropping voting alone would be, if everything else remained unchanged.
