I think you may misunderstand.  There is some enthusiasm for changing  
the voting process, at least for the executive board (which is what  
the paper at the last meeting concentrated on), and especially among  
those who attend the General Meetings because if there are several  
candidates with some support standing for two open board seats, the  
election process can take a couple of hours of sitting in a room for  
round after round of voting.

If you think the GMs are 'smoky room' affairs with everyone of one  
mind to get their drinking buddies in, let me assure you it isn't that  
way.

That isn't to say, of course, that 50 people should be representing  
5,000.  See my presentation at last July's APM meeting, Hank. :)
