This is where having two or more election officials, an open nomination process and an impartial third-party polling system already does a good job of protecting the community from malfeasance on the part of an election official abusing their trust to sweep a PTL seat. That said, while not an election official I did recuse myself from generating the electorate rolls this time once it was clear I was in a contested race for PTL. Election officials should similarly feel free to find other volunteers to take over for them if they realize they're about to be officiating over a poll in which they're one of the candidates, though I don't know that we need to consider that a hard requirement if suitable volunteers are unavailable to take over. -- Jeremy Stanley __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: [email protected]?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
