There is an election committee in a sense. The folks that set the
rules for the elections are the folks voted into the various
committees. I was involved in the recent changes to the FAmSCo
election rules and we did do that by committee. Again, the point here
is that if you voted someone in, you essentially trust them to perform
these actions to make sure the work is getting done. I am happy with
the results we've seen in the changes, though I do wish more people
would vote as well.

Cheers,
