A bad idea perhaps, but > the best that has been discovered so far. Given that there is already some charter that says KS attendees vote... isn't it best to retain that? Directives from above aside, you need specifications on how to change voting procedure before changing it, no? If those don't exist, then something vaguely similar in my country would require a referendum I think. Hasn't the KS committee / TAB board vote rigging conspiracy theory been raised yet? Given they're not running a country, it would be great fun to see the board getting corrupted and go off the rails ;) I'd vote for them because if Ted has anything to do with it, I *know* we'll be having KS in Hawaii ;) -- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
