Great thoughts! Actually, on the board email list, we’re already discussing how we can make next year’s elections better. The problem is that we can’t really change the way things are done mid-election, as that could create confusion or an unfair advantage or disadvantage to some candidates and not others.

Next year though, I agree! This year is a great start, but we can definitely do better next year.

I’m going to follow this up regardless of who gets elected, I never formally “complained” or suggested things directly (I posted some on Daruis’ election blog, I’ll post some more publicly too after elections are over I guess), which I know now I should have done, so will do after the elections for next year. I don’t want to try and interfere with this years at all now – between not knowing who is running it, how busy they are (typically “always”), and since I never expressed anything before it’d be a bit much – also that Scott did these great writeups too.

I’d email this to you but I think it’s worth saying out loud – much better this year, shame it didn’t go full pelt, hopefully next year it can do!
