reading this and a paragraph from the mailing list archive which is
| * openSUSE members will be choosen by the openSUSE election team. The

tells me that the existing board has (more than) influence on the 
group of people who may elect at all. In a democratic system that
would not be acceptable I think. 

For us that might be no problem in good times, but things might 
change and these kind of rules should be good from fist day on.

Or do these two rules only apply for the first election? 

Just for the records,

Klaas
