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.
