Agreed. I'm only voting for 4 candidates.

I'll wait and see what the outcome is, but my concern is that several
candidates, who most people don't actually want on the panel, will get there
by default.

Outcomes are what matter now. I don't really mind whether it's this
organisation or a different group that carries the At Large cause forward.
What matters is that the interests of the Internet Users are defended.

So I'm waiting to see how things unfold, but I've already voted, just for 4
people - and at the same time I've increased my involvement with alternative
groups. This isn't a competitive thing - it's about outcomes.

The panel, in any case, should only be carrying out the instructions of the
membership. Unfortunately, experience of the panels I sat on suggested that
panel-members have the potential to resist the wishes of the majority.
