While I can understand your concerns over having too many reps to get anything agreed, If it is felt that there are too many standing, and ten would be enough, surely it would be better to allow roboteers to vote for (up to) the ten they want. That way anyone who didn't have enough support would fail to get elected
I think that voting 'against' would not be helpful in bringing the roboteering comunity closer together.

What time scales are we now looking at to get all this election stuff resolved and activated?
