But if the Steering Committee (a few powerful people/companies) puts together
a slate, as they've said they will, and they all publicly support it, we are
practically in that position.

This board would almost certainly get elected, and I would have no say at all
in who was or wasn't ;-) on it.

As Daniel said, its hardly worth having a vote.


I don't see the problem with voting for individuals. It is probably no more
complicated than slates, and it is far more democratic. My vote actually counts!
