I think that John has make a better explanation of why this may be seen
as wrong.

This leaves me pondering if we need to  amend elections rules, that
famsco  has to reach a higher rate or been unanimous to change the
election rules. But again I am afraid this may block any future change,
as it has been too hard to reach this point.

I opted for this in the spirit to speed things up, maybe it was a
mistake by rushing.  But I did not looked numbers for deciding, and even
I offered to step down voluntarily in order to have these new rules in
place sooner.

Thanks for your comments, you always put the things in perspective.
