I do share this. While I totally agree that there are many valid views 
on that topic, discussing that now, after the public BoD confcall, and 
the public discussion on this list, is a bit strange. It feels like the 
whole discussion we had done is totally senseless, since we now open the 
discussion again. Most of us are volunteers, and rediscussing things 
again and again burns a lot of time...

So, my proposal would indeed be to stick what we had decided (we all, 
since everyone had a chance to join the discussion and the call), and 
discuss options for 2013, where we can change the model, of course.

Exactly. Receiving mails, verifying they are not fraud, writing back 
that how those people can vote, adding them to the voting system, it is 
a lot of work, and I surely can't do it. And don't forget, we run out of 
time, people have to vote soon, so the organizers can start preparing...
