Howdy,

+1 to that last statement. I realize it can be a bit intimidating, I
know it was for me, there are some rather impressive individuals
represented in the ranks of the foundation. Nor will I lie to you and
say that every application is accepted - but I can tell you that
everyone I have seen involved in the process strives to give a fair
appraisal and in those cases where the answer is not at this moment
attempts to impart encouragement and help on how to change that outcome
- so I suppose I would like to say, don't sell yourself short,
everyone's contribution is valued.

Back to the subject at hand however.

First I agree with the current decision on the appropriateness of using
the membership roster for the vote - but I would also add, this is not
happening in a back room or private mailing list - so everyone has the
opportunity to have their views heard, but for that to happen you need
to voice them. 

If you have a question for either of the teams or have an opinion on the
suitability of one site over the other, don't hesitate to share it here.

Just some thoughts I wanted to share.

Best wishes,

Drew
