Seems a little excessive. This election was never expected to be perfect.

As you all may or may not be aware, WMUK are going to
be having elections to
form
an interim board, to run WMUK and be responsible for the running of the
until the
time that the company is formed. Until now, the elections have mostly been
arranged
by those participating in them, and i feel that this is not particularly a
good thing
and I wanted to improve the legitimacy of these elections. Following
separate
discussions with Cary Bass and Tom Dalton the idea that I would like to
propose is to
have what is effectively an election committee designed to oversee the
running of
the WMUK elections. The proposed make up of this board is as follows, two
representatives from the UK, one person from ChapCom and one from the
foundation
board, however any of those numbers and where the members are sourced from
can change if a consensus for it exists.
The role of this committee would be to oversee the elections, ranging from
deciding
the timetable of events, overseeing the voting stages including the methods
and
medium the voting will take place in and finally the verifying and
announcement of
the results. I hope that this would allow the UK board an amount of
legitimacy in the
running of WMUK in the eyes of the UK community and also the foundation.
If the UK community has no issues I would like to offer my services to
organise this.
Comments would be grateful.
