There are no officially sponsored FT Dos; they are all organized by and for FTers, and airline or hotel sponsorship (if any) is determined by the organizer(s).

Compared to the total number of FTers, those who have attended Dos are a tiny fraction. I wouldn't expect it to be a significant influence in the vote totals
