I think the only difference in effort between the 2 processes is
about 15 more minutes in vote counting for the second process, and
that would give the new TB council full transparency and
legitimacy going forward and not allow any room for criticism.<br>

Uh, the extra lag time to gather nominations, the extra list
discussion about nominations, the extra time taken by all list
members to pick out exactly who to vote for... none of those count
as additional effort?<br>

Maybe it's warranted to go the extra mile and do a full democratic
vote, but let's not kid ourselves: that's definitely a lot of extra
time and effort.<br>
