as far as I know (being a new witness with @swisswitness) there is a line of communication between the top 20 and steemit inc. They do have to agree on certain points and implement code changes as well. And there does seem to be some talk between them as well. If they actually agree or just agree to disagree is not known to me.
Maybe i will get in the top 20 someday in the future and be able to let you know :-)
(runs of to get more witness votes)

all the best :) i'll check out what swisswitness does - thanks for dropping by. i think top 20 witnesses are just rolling with the punches. i don't think there's any consensus on the formalisms involved since such a complain hasn't been addressed for such a long time..
I understand that we are a decentralized platform but there should be some form of regulation built in. These top 20 have a big responsibility and if everyone just goes and does what he wants without any thought or research (not saying they do) or even without some form of communication then this is not good for the platform.
There should be at least a form of discussion and consensus afterwards
i can see you are already voting for 30 witnesses and they seem balanced out between top 20 and others (which I find cool),but if you decide you are not happy with one then we would be honored to get a slot, if not, then fine as well. Its good to be considered in the first place :-)
