I managed to get hold of User:ScribblewikiLover and get him to write on his statement hopefully. Even though I probably wouldn't vote for someone who hasn't even declared to the terms of being a candidate.

Thank you for your digging.
I'd like to make a comment about the need for someone to do this. Before
doing so, please let me stress that I am speaking froma *purely personal
perspective* (i.e. I'm not suggesting others should necessarily follow my lead on this). I make the comment for the benefit of potential board members who may think my position is reasonable and therefore might want
to take action.
I am unlikley to vote in favour of someone who does not clearly identify
who they are (in real life) as I want to do some background checking on individuals experience.
I am unlikely to vote in favour of someone who can't follow the simple requirements placed on nominees in the wiki page.
I am unlikely to vote in favour of someone who has not provided a clear statement as to why I should vote for them.

Just a quick question: who actually gets to vote?

The plan is to allow pretty much anyone that wants to to vote. The election committee will give us the details soon, I imagine, but anyone can add themselves as a potential member and there's no reason not to allow all potential members to vote, so that means anyone can vote. The only thing to be decided, I think, is whether or not to impose a deadline on adding yourself to the membership list prior to the election. I see little point in that myself, but it may make things simpler for the committee.
