The voting process being discussed is to replace the current Steering 
Committee.  The Steering Committee oversees the Editors Committee and 
deals with the overall Scheme language standardization process.

Replacing the Steering Committee does not necessarily imply anything 
about R7RS, other than what was stated in the Steering Committee's 
announcement: "We believe that the R6RS is not the end of the Scheme 
language standardization process, and that the Scheme language must 
continue to evolve."

That might be a criterion to use when deciding on who to vote for for 
membership on the new Steering Committee.  Although I somewhat doubt 
that there are many people champing at the bit to start on R7RS tomorrow.
