While the plan is to largely make the game the majority of the community wants, neither pure democracy or dictatorship are a good idea. Pure democracy will likely lead to poor balance, dictatorship will lead to a very narrow design that does not represent well.
So the plan is to take community feedback and or use polls to pick directions, but have a dedicated design team that makes the final decisions/tweaks for balance, being largely democratic within said team. We also want the team to be diverse in order to represent viewpoints the best. For example I loath Burn, so we also need someone that loves it. We have a pretty solid group already, but are open to new-blood, but we do not want to get to big though.
There also needs to be a method of impeachment to avoid entrenchment and keep the communities interests at heart. I suggest that in such cases that warrant it a 3/4s majority community vote would be needed. Hopefully it will never come up outside of people getting to busy to participate.
The team currently consists:
Sibon(Team Leader), DeathsAdvocate(Founder), Pirts, Poncho Mango, Ryvirath, ACP, AlphaCentury, Amoore322, Athestmantis, Blatm, Cade, Icey, Nowayitsj, SonofMakuta, Stoicrooster. It also includes the Core Devs if they have both the time and desire, and mods have the ability to chime in although are not officially part of it.
Team is pretty full at the moment and we are not looking for more, but between folks changing availability, and or not wanting to become a closed circle, recruitment is still possible:

Requirements:
- The first and most important aspect is dedication! Only those that can commit and dedicate time to the committee on a regular/long term basis should be on it.
- The second is we want this to consist of the most experienced and well versed players that have a firm grasp of the game. Effectively meaning folks with multiple S rank seasons, that are up to date with the meta, and play most or all factions.
- An optional requirement but we need/want folks with a willingness to put cards in the game, using the somewhat deskilled tools provided that the dev team is working on.
- And last we want to avoid conflicts of interest. While this is not a hard and fast requirement, we really want developers to be focusing on developing. The design team should largely consist of people that can make it their sole task.
