I wasn't there this year. In my first draft of that comment I wrote "You get a minute to explain your position, but the election is in the basement of a museum so it's impossible to find it in time to hear the first presentations and there isn't a microphone so it doesn't matter."

It would be better if people could put their policy statements in an email.

The museum experience — with the bagpipe band wandering through in the middle for extra local color — was kind of a low point. That helped to motivate some improvements in the process. In 2015 there was a separate room with a microphone, paper ballots for private voting, etc. Credit is due to Kristen Accardi, who pushed for improvements in the process and laid out the new voting mechanism.
