For what it's worth, I'm one of the late joiners. I probably will not
vote, as my reason for joining was that I heard my own conlang,
Alurhsa, as well as Jim Hopkins' Itlani which I know fairly well, were
candidates. If either of those is chosen, I'll seek to be as much help
to everyone as I can, but if another is chosen I most likely won't join
the learning community just because I have so much going on anyway.
Hence why I don't want to vote as it seems inappropriate for me to
affect the result.<br>

<div>Yea, that makes sense. Considering the fact that the
voting period will stretch between 1° and 8 september (so, a one week
span), it is necessary to freeze the "citizenry" ("electorate" I
prefer) immediately, or at last before the opening of the voting
period. ("the critical date" as jurists say). If the electoral
membership can still vary within the voting operations, it gives the
impression that someone seeks to manipulate the ballot...</div>

For all practical purposes, the "citizenry" concerned with this
particular vote is restricted to people who are reading this list. It
makes sense to define eligibility in terms of list membership; but then
not make a big deal out of it, because how many people nòt reading the
list even know what's going on here? I do think it makes sense for you
to supply the vote counters the list of group subscribers so they can
become familiar with how many folks are subscribed and who they are. If
all of a sudden 400 ballots come pouring in, they'll know something is
fishy. And they'll know which of those 400 ballots are "legit".<br>
