Are you implying that people are sheep and cannot choose for themselves ?
Are you treating members as fools ?

Of course not, I implied that a board member which is trying to be re-elected already have a lot of power and can use that power so his voters will also vote his preferred candidates in the next seats, and that is exactly what happened, the elected #2 and #3 are the ones that the elected #1 wanted. The current voting system will not create diversity of opinions in RIPE Executive Board, because always the candidates elected in the next seats will have the same opinions like the candidate elected in the first seat. Specially when the majority of the votes are coming from very specific countries we will always know how the RIPE Executive Board will look like and what will be the tone in it.

Kind Regards,

Elad
