Let me say for the record that I'm not at all happy with this data being released, since it allows vote-buying.
What's wrong with vote-buying? It's no worse than seat-buying.
I am not sure I understand the logic in this comment.
If something is bad; then it doesn't matter if something else is equally bad? And we shouldn't bother fighting either one unless we can fight both?
Makes little sense to me.
You're adding in a "therefore" which I never intended. I don't have a problem with seat-buying, so long as the current board approves of the candidate, anyway. And in the case of a WMF election the current board has the final say in whether or not to seat the candidate.
So you'll have to start by showing why seat-buying is bad. And then you'll probably have to find a new foundation to support.
