I don't fear any election. I'm all for elections. My comment about
"staying the way it is" was regarding to staying informal.
IMHO having a formal organisation (non profit, whatever) is not worth
the costs (human, financial etc) even if it would look better on
paper.
An election is fine. But I'd suggest we keep the same informal system.
If elected, the old team or a new team can certainly propose to change
that, but since it is a very important change I think it should be
voted.

BTW - When I said I didn't want to manually create a list ("in 2
letter: no), document the various process etc. that doesn't mean I'm against
somebody else doing that :-)

Quite the contrary- personally the lack of competition worries me. I
would like to see people getting involved. The way we now run is
basically anyone doing something can claim this title. Yet we don't
have enough volunteers.

The $10 000 may also attract some not-so-scrupulous people. My fault -
I know I'm paranoid.
