I agree with you about there being these 2 things that are needed for an election: 1. A list of active members There are some 'ambient' lists of members - eg, the wiki's usernames list, the total of all emails subscribed to all mailing lists - and then the list at http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Members/List is and the subset of that at https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Members/Survey2015 However, this subset is claimed to be unreliable, despite Sebastian's best efforts, and I am not sure where the former list came from for Sebastian to upload it to Google Docs. So I suggest develop a 'super list' with as many possible members as possible, and then make persistent attempts to contact them until they pay a membership donation, ask for a membership bursary so they don't have to pay the fee personally, or tell us to go away :) 2. A voting mechanism While http://loom.io seems good for decision making on a board, I don't think its suitable for elections. Instead, https://dem.tools Elections seems good - Python/MongoDB, GPLv3, actively maintained - https://github.com/nditech/elections
