Count me as a westerner representing an Asian company, please. It was not that easy for our candidate to run for the AB and he was, we were ready to face a negative result. That's the election game. All things have positive _and_ negative effects, you outlined the potential negative ones. But stats could also help a Member see if its campaign and/or candidate was the right one, help improve it for next election. Without that feedback loop, none of us is able to really understand if we missed the election by a little or by far. I faced that problem when I ran a few years ago and missed it. I was not elected and I had no idea if I was far away from being elected or not, something rather important to know. I am not at all decreasing the value of your comment, Ann. The issues you describe are real ones and I understand AB candidates are nominated by a Member, usually their employer who asked (hear "ordered") them to run... </Daniel>
