[Board] Kicking off Elections 2015 process

[Bart van den Eijnden]

IMHO we should not rush polling the charter members on the voting rules.

I'd suggest simply adopting the previous procedure for this election and poll the members separately
after this election. Even setting up the questionnaire properly will likely take a lot of discussion.

My 2 cents.
