Shouldn't we be talking about how to improve the selection
process for the final 4 atLarge members?  No one seems to
like how the first 5 were selected, but unless all 5 elected members
are complete bozos, it doesn't seem to me that it was a total
failure.  I'm sure it can be improved upon, however, and I think
it would be worth hearing some suggestions.
