Hi,

I'm pretty sure that we would have gotten quite an extra bunch of emails like that one if a majority of current tmo users would have wanted to vote.

Which is a sad thing, I guess.
I got 3 or 4 emails from people with new accounts who wanted to vote. I told them they could not, and that was the end of it.

In the case of jacktanner, he had some bugzilla activity, so I spelt a grey area and sent him to the council.

In the case of a dozen others, their tmo accounts were old enough but their maemo.org accounts were not, and so I applied the instructions of the council and automatically issued a ballot.

At the cut-off point, there were about 20 people with sufficient karma who did not meet the date requirements (from memory - I could go back and give you an explicit count if you wanted). 10 of those had linked talk accounts which were not old enough, and the others had no other linked accounts.

Cheers,
Dave.
