[governance] New Candidate for Co-coordinator: Rafik Dammak

[William Drake]

Hi,

I think quizzing people, particularly with odd questions, is not the right model to follow.  Candidate statements have always been sufficient in the past.  If we want to develop a indicative set of questions such statements could address, fine, but this should be done before people decide whether to throw their hats in the ring, not after, and it should be up to them whether and how they want to respond to each.  

Best,

Bill
