I agree that a timely action plan for such votes is needed. For the next
voting process we should have defined time-spans for nominations,
general input and coming to a final decision.

What I personally want to avoid is to have public discussions about the
merits of volunteers as they rarely do good. Giving input and sharing
concerns is all fine and important (also a demonstration of how much you
care about MOTU), but discussing the qualities (or lack thereof)
of people who volunteer to do good work is likely to put people off.

This makes it look much worse than it actually is. 

Have a nice day,
