It's worth noting that the AoAs now specify STV as a voting method. It 
also makes breakdowns of votes by candidate harder to produce.

I'd like to see increased diversity through increased participation in 
working groups. The working groups 
(http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Working_Groups) are where the actual 
business of the OSMF gets done, require a less formal committment, and 
are generally looking for more people. Some of them, like the CWG, 
require no more than an ability to write in a language, an ability to 
read English, and a willingness to chip in with the work.
