Ah - perhaps I should be more clear:
+ "Do you think we should expand the membership by
accepting much smaller contributions for membership"
Sorry for that. The essence of the question is simple - if you
want to grow the membership there are at least these two approaches:
+ encourage more people to contribute more to meet
the criteria
or
+ lower the criteria for membership
Hence my question - in each case - I'd love more detail on people's
suggested approach.

Sure, so do you have a question about that ? either way I'm curious
about MC member's views of an electoral system whereby (given the
current CoI rules) discouraging people from voting for you is a good
tactic to get elected ;-) and/or that if/as/when people are bumped by
these rules that it's not possible to appoint the next most popular
person in the ranking etc.
I would hope that:
"* How do you believe we can improve the existing election
system - assuming the statutes can be tweaked ?"
Is a legitimate question for the MC candidates ?
ATB,
Michael.
