<p>"With experience in the community/board" is not the same criteria
as disallowing current board members, who, imho, should not be
trying to influence the elections as long as they are a member.</p>

<div>Simon, why would you restrict members or people with
experience in the community/board to not ask questions?</div>

Thanks for this.<br>
<br>
Expecting you to be doing this next time too :-): could we
put a rule in<br>
place that doesn't allow questions from candidates and
current board<br>
members?<br>
<br>
If the candidates want to jokey for position I would
consider a<br>
town-hall or similar type of event to be more appropriate
and fairer,<br>
instead of giving an advantage to those that get their,
typically<br>
loaded, questions to be accepted.<br>
