So ?  If the remaining 201 people don't have an opinion, that's their right.
Maybe they'll form an opinion over time, and participate in the next election.

Yes.

Yes, I think that was the idea.

I see Seth, Ville, and Michael got re-elected even though it said on the 
nomination page:
 nominated for the new FESCo as contingent by skvidal
 (contingent: if no one else wants it - they will step up and do the job)

I know I abstained voting for them because of this message...

I do hope they'll accept the job now.

Maybe next time it'd be better if the nomination page is a bit clearer and
doesn't mislead me into thinking some of the people there might prefer not 
being elected.

Cheers,
