Hello,

I am sure there are many people on the blue sheets who have never
participated on any of the mailing lists.  My point is that to be fair (and
as this is controversial it must be fair) if they get a vote because they
showed up in person those of us who showed up online should get a vote too.

I am based in the UK, so the late in the day meetings at Vancouver were at
incredibly anti-social times for me.  Still, it was important and I made
the effort to stay up and participate in the only way I could.

There is also a consistency issue here.  Those of us on Jabber were able to
(and encouraged to) participate in the consensus process, but it has been
proposed that we be excluded from the vote.  Really, you should either be
able to participate through Jabber or not in a consistent way.

Regards,

Peter
