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.
