This characterizes exactly my own vision of how democracy should function in 
cyberspace.  Satyajit, as a "private" individual, need answer only to himself 
about his reasons for supporting a candidate apparently taking a position at 
odds with the aims of icannatlarge; but as a "public official," that is, an 
elected Panel member, must expect to be questioned by the electorate on any 
action he takes relevant to his position.  It comes with the territory.
