Needing to have elections every three months would suggest the project 
has other issues that need solving. Basically, when electing people to 
teams, one consideration should be ability to contribute at a good level 
over a 12 month period.

I'm still collecting names of people interested in becoming members of 
the eV. The current member list is here:

I'm going to propose the list to the current eV members late next week. 
We definitely need to expand the eV membership before making any real 
committee decisions.
