Thank you, Eric, Alan and Tiago for taking the time to answer these 
questions.

For the record, in case this wasn't obvious (the 7th question wasn't 
that anonymous), i created the list of questions from 1 through 13, and 
mailed it to the election committee.

As for the questionnaires length, I have had to provide the questions 12 
and 13, just to cover all bases (as i of course have only limited scope 
too), but this is where my questionnaire was supposed to end. One member 
of the election committee complained that this is too much hassle, but 
then provided the follow up questions anyway.

My goal for this questionnaire was to take some of the flashheat out of 
a direct discussion (yes, i know, i am often a part of that heat 
myself), and would give everyone a decent opportunity to think about 
core board issues, and to provide concise answers, giving voters a 
clearer picture of who to vote for and why.

With only 50% participation, I am not sure whether this was considered a 
positive thing for the elections. I have no insight as to why not more 
candidates participated. I am therefor not sure whether something 
similar should be repeated in future, perhaps with a wiki page that's 
started when the nomination period starts, out of which questions are 
distilled in situ.

Again, thanks for taking the time, and i hope the electorate will take 
your effort into account when voting.
