It would be nice if they claimed their right to vote, even nicer if
they joined a few working groups and put their shoulders to the
plough. How can we get folks motivated to do that, seems to me to
be an important question.<br>
Kind regards<br>

<div>- there are 419 registered voters, of which, only some 96

<div>I think this is a problem that we need to address urgently
