If you think it's easy to get elected to the JCP EC, please prove it. There will be a JCP election next year. The seats of Ericsson, Intel, Werner Keil (individual), SAP and VMWare are up for re-election. Go ahead and get yourself elected, you should have no problem unseating at least Werner, surely?
Though I should warn you: you will have to be prepared to explain why you would be a good EC member, rather than just criticising all other candidates and existing members, which is frankly all you appear to be capable of.
