Tony,
I railed at that particular bit of text (.17 has never needed
WG P&P), but I was told this requirement was coming from the
SA and we wouldn't have a choice about it in a few months.
When the time comes, rest assured that .17 will do the minimum
required in terms of WG P&P: Rule 1, there is no rule 1. Rule 2
see rule 1.
I also agree that we should have a consistent methodology
for holding elections and more so, to have a methodology
that brings to light any irregularities that might occur.
cheers,
mike
