It seems rather premature to announce what the task force you are on
has decided before the community has even seen any of their work, so
I have to assume this is a personal opinion from you and not part of
your work on the task force.

To avoid future possible confusion maybe it would be best if you
refrained from commenting publicly on what this task force will
decide, or else clearly marking your posts on this topic as your
personal opinion. It seems to me that this sort of responsibility
comes with being on such a task force.

In any case I rather expect the exec board election task force to
decide about any rules that need to be changed regarding who is
eligible to stand, how they should conduct themselves within the
campaigning period, the candidate biographies, etc etc not just a
pronouncement that "Elad may not stand". All of that to be decided
on the basis of rough consensus of the community, I would hope.

Personally speaking I am entirely happy to see you stand again and
comprehensively fail to be elected again, as long as that isn't
accompanied by the circus you created on this mailing list last time
and your abuse of the RIPE database for direct mailing.

I look forward to the task force you are on seeking input from the
membership so I can formally relay that opinion to them in the hope
that any future abuse can be avoided without preventing you (or
any member) from standing.

Regards,
Andy
