I do have an even more accurate question...
I hope that Jimbo will bring light on this :-)
What are the 2 elected people supposed to do...as part
of their mandatory work. And in particular, is there
really a difference between the two of them...which
mean what is the Contributing Active Member
Representative supposed to really do compared to the
other one ?

When I ask the question, I expect something a little
bit more detailed that the current answer which is
"The distinct responsibility and duties of each
represenative has yet to be determined", with a bit
more which says "Contributing Active Member
Representative" will have to care of setting up and
controlling member fee system. 

If the current definition of the two posts does not
make any different *right now*, why should we make a
difference in the elections ?
