You've conflated issues. Regardless how how eligibility works the decision to release ballots or not has implications. It's a separate issue. I'm not sure how to make it more clear that were not discussing voter eligibility here. So instead lets discuss eligibility some: Can you provide the eligibility criteria you'd like to apply? Please be precise and actionable, i.e. make sure that I could write a program using the publicly available data to determine eligibility. I think this would be most enlightening. (Oh, and in the future please provide citations when you make claims like 'the board is drumming up scary situations', because as far as I know it's not correct and you're just ranting.) _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
