    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>

        <div>I want to bring to your attention this "small" detail:</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>- there are 419 registered voters, of which, only some 96
          are active that's 22.8%.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I think this is a problem that we need to address urgently
          - no one can claim to be representative of a world wide
          community with 96 active users or 419 registered users.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I hope more members decide to claim their right to vote.</div>
