I like the way you've phrased this.  Yes, we'll have ZC people involved, 
but hopefully not as the center wheel.  We have an important role to 
play and have to retain the right of last vote if things don't go right 
(as does the customer).  But it's important to me that those providing 
leadership (right now, Seb and Alan) have some room to move.
