If nobody else does, I'll take the ungrateful duty of alerting us of the 
elephant in the room :(


You said you wanted more democracy by having the poll on how to spend the 
money. You blocked the funds with that for 3 months.
I am absolutely OK with that and think we should go through with it! :)

Now you want to bypass your own democracy by taking a large sum of money and 
spending it how you please.
This opposes your own agenda.

Thus please wait for the results of the poll and only suggest a website 
redesign if people actually want it.
Sorry :(

I don't enjoy saying this but it's a natural conclusion and thus needs to be 
said.
Especially considering this statement of your own:
> When I've raised the subject of a website redesign in the past, the only
> voices I heard in response were opposed to it.

Something which you have felt lots of opposition against is the last thing you 
should bypass a poll for.
Also, something which matters on personal *taste* is a poll-thing as well: 
Design preferences are highly personal. Whether a design sucks can only be 
answered in a poll in the first place.

So please, if you want to bypass the poll, do it with something less 
controversial, and with something which costs a lot less money than $5000 :)


Thanks :)
