One improvement that the constitution mandates over last year's process
is that people who become Core Contributors have to accept that status,
and as part of that you can make sure they understand the status comes
with the privilege and responsibility of voting in the community-wide
elections.
I think last years process, where the community "leaders" just made lists
for their communities, and many of them didn't understand why or what was
involved, was part of what led to the voter turnout issues.
