I just wanted it to be clear that I thought there was a potential abuse case
if we let the foundation handle process abuse. Not necessarily a likely one.
I can live with it if others can.

I am a bit concerned about systems such as Nabble. &nbsp;We do not want to permit the Nabble service to be used to send a vote and individuals who read via Nabble will not have a vote. &nbsp;I believe it is reasonable to require a personal subscription to the list if one wants to be considered a voting eligible participant.<br>
