I wonder why people that are that interested in voting for FESCo,
wouldn't be interested in joining up with one of the groups (packaging,
QA, etc) that under the governance of FESCo?  It's not like the bar for
entry is that high for all of them.

Regardless, I think we have a fundamental difference of opinion here,
but I would be willing to have this brought up for a vote at this week's
FESCo meeting if you would like.  If you could give me a proposal for
what you think the requirement for voting would be, I'll add it to this
week's schedule.

Later,
