Everytime I can remember getting voter information the board turnout had
been smaller than the fesco turnout (this is perhaps a better measure of
voter participation because the actual people who are technically allowed
to vote in board elections includes a huge number of people who have never
contributed to fedora.

One thing Robyn's email causes me to think about, however, is to make it
clear how the members of this fpl cabinet would be selected.  I think the
answer is "each group sending a representative gets to decide how" but
without being explicit some people might assume they're all elected or some
other uniform process.
