<br>
My apologies for being unclear.<br>
<br>
When I said we have no such plans I meant literally just that - I did<br>
not intend to imply that anything like that had been considered or<br>
should or even could be planned. I was just replying to Michael who<br>
seemed to think it might be possible. Indeed what you correctly<br>
observe about new members makes it clear that such a purge would not<br>
be possible.<br>
<br>
In any case I am not in any position to remove anyone from the list<br>
even if wanted to. I'm now only concerned with the elections and apart<br>
from recording who voted and who didn't I'm not going to make any<br>
distinctions between list members.<br>
<br>
But as your and Michael's questions indicate, it might be good if our<br>
charter was clearer on this point, distinguishing between new members<br>
(who are planning to vote as soon as they can) and observers (who can't<br>
or don't want to vote). But that's just a note for a possible future<br>
charter revision.<br>
<br>
I hope this clarifies the situation.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
