Linux-IL who are subscribed to this list, as well as other Linux activists, 
but I don't know people who are activly encouraging Linux use and are not on 
this list - so the Linux-IL subscribed users are allowed to vote. 

Of course - once there is an Amuta - nothing would prevent anyone from 
registering to the Amuta, as long as the person is willing is to volunteer 
for help. Once we have an Amuta - we can set the goals of what activity is 
needed, and how it can be done.

Ok, if that person is willing to help - welcome aboard.
