16:27:24 <spot> We received three candidates for the open seat. I will send that
information to all FPC members via email and we will discuss it there.
16:27:48  <spot>  I think that may be more polite than doing it openly, and I seem
to recall thats how we did it last time.


Tom, what is impolite in openes? I am interested in that seat and it is 
not secret, I'd like to be treated openly. Thank you.

Why not dropped the FPC altogether and just have people post proposed 
changes to the guidelines to this list where community members can just 
ack/nack/patch those proposals instead of relying on members that can 
barely attend and approve proposals.

Far more efficient method for the community and project in whole...
