We are being asked to upvote the most important questions to ask people
running to be drafters of the Movement Charter, the deadline is Sunday
night:

The purpose of this is to make a questionnaire for the candidates, so
people have a better idea of the positions of the people they are voting
for.
(I am a candidate myself, and have also proposed some statements.)
Thanks,
