An interesting distinction. I abstained from claiming my right-to-vote 
(even if that vote had been an abstention).

I think I am a similarly on-the-fence, not-quite-a-member-of, the NCUC.

While I believe in anti-capture mechanisms, I also believe in systems 
that are open enough that bottom-up participation is nevertheless 
possible.

[I'll get back on this increasingly prickly fence now].
