It was in the thread 'Position for Ubuntu-UK Contact' - Here's my
reply to the suggestion that the vote be held on IRC

Point taken, but we have two points in our favour.

1) Any sudden upsurge in registration of Ubuntu-UK members would
indicate that this was happening, so we'd have to look into this
further.

2) I don't think that the job of Ubuntu-UK LoCo contact is 'glamorous'
enough for want of a better word to attract an incredible amount of
corruption in the election process. I could of course be wrong ;-) but
I'd like to think that we're bright enough to see when we're being
blagged!
