Michael, of course. I want to meet people before introducing them to my 
children.

Now this *is* a straight question: Which of these would I trust *as 
scrutineers in a GA vote*?
On this issue, none of the below have given me reason for distrust, so if 
they volunteered, I'd accept them. (Caveat: Some names I don't associate 
much with - another argument for making such a procedure public, so that 
objectors can object).
With, of course, the caveat that their actions have to be reviewable; 
that's just normal procedures. (Rules for Norwegian elections include the 
provision that when some election officials leave the room where the count 
is taken, people from at least 2 political parties remain present...)

(if you infer from the above that I care more for my children than for the 
GA - big surprise!)
