Tim,

This vote is not about how the committee was set up, it is about a
voter eligibility rule.

Suppose for the sake of argument, that the Election Committee had sent
out a message saying that Tim Stowell had been removed from the candidate
list for NC because the committee had decided that there should be a
one term limit.

Would you still say that the Advisory Board could not interfere with
decisions of the independent Election Committee and that ALL of its
rulings must be allowed to stand? Or would you allow the Board to vote
on the question of whether the Election Committee had the right to
declare term limits? Or would you simply declare that they did not
have that authority?
