Becoming well-known, at least within our technical community, tends to be a mark of connectedness with the TC electorate (generally through some manner of contribution whether that's serving in other elected positions or working on cross-project efforts or simply making excellent observations and suggestions on our mailing lists). People who are relatively unknown in the community will, on the whole, lack a breadth of experience outside their niche cross-sections of OpenStack and so have trouble establishing credibility with their constituency. As for the anonymity idea, I rely far more on actions and positions I've seen from candidates over their years of interactions with me and the rest of the community. If I were forced to rely solely on pseudonymous (what you described is not actually anonymous since there would be a unique ID assigned) position statements, I would mostly just end up attempting to map them to the candidates I knew were running based on the opinions I know them to hold. -- Jeremy Stanley
