I thought we managed to get a "None of the above" option introduced a couple elections ago?
Given everyone gets THREE VOTES (one for each board seat), then a 'None of the above' vote would be fundamentally flawed - you could vote for 2 people plus 'None of the above' - which would be paradoxical Also, if 'none of the above' received more votes than any of the top 3 candidates, I very much doubt the conclusion would be a 5 person board So I think the Election Committees decision to not provide that option was a sensible, practical one The 'None of the above' vote is basically just a protest vote - Protesting for the sake of protesting isn't really that productive. Don't protest - do something about it - There was a phase for nomination, where everyone could have put forward people they DO want for the Board. The 5 candidates are the ones who were either put forward, or put themselves forward. If you are an openSUSE member who doesn't want any of those 5 people on the Board, then do not vote for any of those 5 people on the Board (and then please consider nominating someone you DO want next time) Regards, Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
