BIKE: Election Endorsements, Round 2

[Michael Bluejay]

Okay, since there's still an election to be decided, let's revisit the 
idea of endorsements from the bicycling community.

First question:  Would the Austin Cycling Association like to survey 
and/or interview the candidates?  If so, great!  Let's go that route.  
Bob/Fred, can you tell us what ACA thinks of this idea?

If that's not a go, then how would you listmembers like to handle it?  
Here's one idea:

	(1) SURVEY.  I survey the candidates, like last time.  And just like 
last time, I'll welcome submissions of questions we should ask the 
candidates.

	(2) ENDORSEMENT.  Last time I endorsed by myself.  This time I'm 
willing to consider taking votes from the members of this list.  (I'll 
freeze the list for voting purposes, so new joiners can't join just to 
vote for their candidate.  I mean, new people will be able to join, but 
they won't be able to vote.)  But I'm going to expect to get at least 
20 people from this list to vote in order to consider it a fair 
representation.  (There are about 200 people on the list.)  What do 
people think of this?  Or should I just endorse by myself again?

Let's try to come to some consensus on this by Tuesday.  Time's 
a-wastin'....

Thanks,
