I'd hope to get more candidates than vacancies, just to have some kind of mandate rather than walking in unopposed.
I'd also like to see some people other than the CC question the candidates about what they think - since some of them aren't forum regulars (or even members) though, I doubt there will be much debate.Comment

Do I understand correctly that you can't vote until 28-April? Why the delay between finalising candidates and being able to vote?Comment

I believe it is to give the candidates time to engage with the electorate, and for the electorate to interrogate the candidates - probably best done over there rather than here though.

Happy to discuss my thoughts via PM (there or here) if anyone doesn't want to go public with their questions.Comment

My vote goes to whoever gives the correct answer to the Columbian hostages conundrum so probably best discussed here :-)
In all seriousness though - I'd have thought that anyone on Cuk who has read much of what you and faqqer have posted over the years (in the serious forums only obviously) would have a pretty good idea of what you're about and would therefore give either/both of you their vote by default anyway.Comment

There's also the logistical challenge of preparing the information packs - which can't be done until they know who the candidates are - then getting them printed and sent out to the 22,000 members. Leaving it to the web-based process wouldn't guarantee everyone sees the information. (OK, nor does paper but there's less excuse...)Blog? What blog...?Comment

I'd like to think that people will take the opportunity to find out a bit more about the people that are standing before ticking the box - but I know that I've been guilty of not doing that in the past and relying solely on forum activity and the candidate statement to make my opinion
(edit - that first bit was slightly tongue in cheek. Two other candidates have also posted a couple of times)Comment
