[governance] co-coordinator elections

[Avri Doria]

correction:

they would then send the ballot in via regular _mail_ as specified in  
Yehuda's suggestion. not email as i mis-wrote.

though i suppose it could be done by email as long as it was from the  
address which received the direct emailing.

and of course the recipient would have to guarantee to only list who  
voted and the count and not he details of anyone's votes.

i am working with developers on a fix for the faults in the online  
voting system we used in the past, and hope i have an improved version  
to offer before the elections of 2009.  i am sorry it was not ready in  
time for this year, but volunteer efforts being what they are, nothing  
could be done.
