[governance] Election process - message to list coordinators

[Rui Correia]

Hi David

I agree 100% and replied to Rafik's email without seeing that you had
started a separate string.

I repost it here.

"Dear All

Is this fair and ethical?

I applaud the request for information about the candidates suitability
for the task.

However, surely then, it should be equally applied to all candidates.
We should not have a situation in which a candidate is prejudiced by
his frank answers, where in fact he might be better that others,
except that we don't know that because such information was not
request of the others.

Best regards,

Rui, Consultant on free and fair elections in Southern Africa."
