But you did ask for elections, and if memory serves, the most powerful (if not the biggest or the oldest) democracy was started from linking the two... I'd say that an amuta assumes membership dues, and whoever pays should be able to vote, whether he/she does anything or not. Which leaves us with a chicken-and-egg question of who is going to vote for the first Treasurer who will collect the first dues? The obvious answer is, the first three or more individuals who'll pay for their own refreshments during the founding congress of the amuta will vote for the President, the Secretary, and the Treasurer, the news of event will be posted to linux-il-announce, and the masses will either follow or not. -- Oleg Goldshmidt | [EMAIL PROTECTED] "A sense of the fundamental decencies is parceled out unequally at birth." ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
