Of course, I'm interested in an ideal process - but I'm more interested
in a good outcome here.
Is there anything in that announcement that particularly worries you
and/or that shows any sort of bias or somesuch ? I imagine that this is
substantially a boiler-plate mail - presumably re-used from the last one
that we sent out two years ago - it doesn't end: "Vote for Cor!" I am
assuming (not that I read it carefully ;-)
ie. this is a pure theoretical process purity issue, not any real
concern ?

Good =) so - we are transparent; I guess I'd leave the rest for the
electorate - assuming that Cor is indeed recused from further any MC
role until after the elections are concluded.

It is always an option I think for MC members; traditionally it has
been a good place to serve, and get to know how TDF works to move on to
the board from. IIRC several people did that. It is clear that when you
elect someone, they may resign from post for all manner of reasons - I
can't think of a better reason than coming to serve on the board.
Having said that - in general, it is clearly better for most of the MC
to serve a full term so we have continuity in the MC. FWIW - I was
rather in favor of 1 year terms for both BoD & MC in the 1st instance
which would make this rather less of a problem (IMHO).

I imagine Cor's candidacy statement will explain that sort of thing. It
seems pretty clear to me that if the electorate share your lack of
happiness with that, they have a free and anonymous vote to express that
with - which will (I assume) result in Cor staying in the MC.
Traditionally I'm not so sure that they've minded.
Regards,
Michael.
