That doesn't make any sense, really (though I think with the recent
FESCo and FAMSCo changes, it might for now - I think everyone has
moved to CLA+1)

If you're not an Ambassador, for example, what concern is it of yours
how that group is governed (though since FAMSco is managing budget
these days, I think that's why they relaxed their eligibility
requirement, though not being directly involved I can't say) or who
does it? I admit that you could just not vote in that election if it's
not of concern to you, however there's a process involved in becoming
an Ambassador (for example, I'm picking on them because they most
recently had the "only members of our group can vote" policy) and if
you haven't completed that process, what say should you have in the
governance of that group? (again, the criteria for FAMSCo elections
have been relaxed, primarily because they *can* affect other groups in
the project with monetary decisions).
