A lot of people incl me are not exactly happy with the karma approach, particularly for HiFo. That's why I said "preliminarily" since I guess we (community) will like to discuss those eligibility rules before setting them up finally, for HiFo.
However as things are right now, we hardly have *any* other criterion on which we could decide a candidate's eligibility to run for HiFo BoD, during this election period.
As much as I agree that I would also like to Jim as a candidate for HiFo BoD, I think we (council) have little arguments to justify bending/breaking established rules to our own liking. We might apply karma calculation rules and 200 community members go and hit thanks button on Jim's tmo posts. Or we could start a regular referendum to get him in on "popular demand" if that's not conflicting with bylaws.Or one of the then-elected directors steps down and rest of directors appoints Jim. Anyway aiui Jim hasn't rejected acting as a affiliated councilor for BoD without being a regular director/member-of-BoD (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...9&postcount=28)
I will also state that it might be better, easier and more "logical" for the community to consider creating a sort of Board Advisor position for HiFo, and saving the actual director positions for those who have already shown their merit in the community.
cheers
