Re: Official list of candidates + questions

[Andy Tai <lichengtai yahoo com>]

Ghee,
this is really serious matter that I would propose to
have an amended  set of questions just with this
change and sent it to the candidates again, because we
want to avoid "free software vs. open source" debate
in the election, which will not lead anywhere and just
raise emotions and turn the whole process ugly.  We
want to have a calm debate where candidates answer the
questions in substance.  It is our responsibility
running the election to do our best to make the
process smooth and to avoid unnecessary problems. 
Thus it is OK to send the questions updated a second
time and tell the candidates to answer the revised
version, instead of the original version.  It may look
strange that the questions are modified in minor ways,
and look bad on the committee, but that is a small
price to pay.

I can send the amended set of questions if you prefer
so.
