yup, agree with Analise on this one. if Talkboard is meant to be our democratically elected body, then we should get a full selection of whoever wants to run, rather than have exclusions which may prevent some of us voting for people we'd want to vote for. Ultimately, if a majority of people agree with Sean, then there won't be a majority of Moderators, and even if a majority of people don't agree, there may still not be a majority of Moderators.
