(I would not say wonderful, see below)

Let me explain why I'm staying in the committee. If I had done a
wonderful job, elections could be organized without me. However, it's
not the case. The new voting system is not documented yet and there's no
really easy way to use the membership and elections database right now.
So I'm staying to explain and help if necessary.

I really prefer having smooth-running elections and not being elected
than the contrary.

Now, I don't consider that my answers to Quim's ideas were made with my
elections committee hat on (except the fact that I added them to the
todo list, because I don't want to lose the ideas), nor were my answer
to your first mail. I believe I have the right to express my ideas, even
if I'm a candidate :-)
