This implies that Izumi san and I have been unfair. I think this is erroneous.

Here is perhaps where you go off track.

There is nowhere in my reading of the charter (and, since I have
quoted it in the past, i think you could have, fairly, assumed that I
had read it) that pre-election list making is implicit in the duties
of the coordinator.  Nowhere in the charter does the term "voting
list" appear, rather this list, comes post-election.  "A list of the
self-defined member-voters will be published after the election with
the results of the election." and "A list of those who self-affirm
membership, but not their votes, will be published after the vote."

If we want to change the charter, then we need the latest list; "The
membership requirements for amending the charter are based on the most
currently available voters list. In amending the charter, everyone who
voted in the previous election will be deemed a member for amending
the charter."

When I "close-followed" Avri, it meant that I was in agreement with
her interpretation.
