Adrian,

Only voting is going to be noted as participation.  If you, on principle,
do not wish to cast a vote for a particular candidate then you should
submit a ballot listing no candidates but noting you choose to abstain.

I will leave that to Tyler to respond to.

I believe this will be the 3rd year of voting since we actualized
the concept of participation.  So someone who fails to vote this year
as well as the previous two years would be dropped from the charter
member ranks.
