          goals for better representation, more diversity, more people
          who understand end user needs and risks, etc.  We are

                              positions. even if not voting,<br>
                              attempting to influence an election<br>
                              - a +1 w/ no justification leaves us to
                              wonder whether there's a real<br>
                              reason for support or it's "i'm friends w/
                              the candidate"<br>
                              - new members rarely get +1s. this makes
                              the elections look like the<br>
                              dancing chairs game with always the same
                              ppl playing<br>
                              <br>
                              That being said, it's a good thermometer
