I am just open to discussions ;) But I was just talking to this
particular case, we need to define this for the future.

We had a huge problem in the OpenOffice.org Conference 2007 in
Barcelona as more than 1000 people registered for the conference and
at the end there were no more than 250 people appeared. We lost a lot
of money because of that and on a personal basis after more than one
year of the conference I was still clearing the mess up. Yes, I am
still angry ;)

A possible solution would be:

1. Invite all the TDF members to vote by default.
2. If you are not a member of the TDF but you also want to vote, send
a message to someone (Florian maybe? :P) and you will be invited.
