Shouldn't the GA members who find the election procedures
controversial in any way post a message to the GA then?

I am concerned that items are being placed on the agenda to deal with
at the F2F without any prior discussion on the list of the same
issues.  The F2F should be used to cement or work out differences
regarding issues that have been vetted here, and if any concerns about
the election process exist, they have not been put forward here.
