While I don't dispute this statement, it does lead me to wonder: what 
*is*
it?  Everyone keeps saying what the positions are *not*.  I started to
read the bylaws, but I really don't understand such things.  What 
criteria
should we use to judge candidates?

On a related note, could people who understand such things work on a 
lay-
translation of the bylaws so the rest of us could understand them?  I 
would
find that very useful.
