Well both the individuals that are driving this effort are part of FESCo 
and why the board is backing this up beats me and why did those elect 
body not allow for a counter proposal being made to .next and WG?

Why aren't empty votes or none votes counted as people not being happy 
with candidates and how representive of the entire community is that 
voting since the last time I checked only fraction was voting?

Be it as it may what you believe about evidence since what played part 
of me resigned from the serverWG was that I had been contacted by 
several maintainers ( which some where Red Hat employees ) which 
expressed concerns if I was going to be responsible for signing them up 
for maintenance work they were not willing to do, which I was not what I 
was about to do and was also the reason I emphazied so much on the 
baseWG meetings that Phillip would be in contact with every affected 
maintainer of the components they had agreed upon to keep to keep them 
in the loop and gather their feedback.

Why they contacted me I honestly have no idea and was quite surprised 
it's not like I'm the popular kid on the block but then again I was 
equally surprised when Stephen selected me to be on the serverWG or when 
I got asked to run for FESCo

Why those individuals have not stepped forward to back me up I can only 
speculate about as much as you can but ultimately it's their chose.
