As opposed to the transparent and fair system where one individual held up the 
vote on a license for three years AFTER consensus had been reached on the list 
for approval and the former moderator had so recommended to the board?

I’m not advocating for a voting process but the current system is opaque 
despite having a public mailing list.

Potential for abuse in certain cases -- suppose a company writes a
controversial license and wants it to get OSI-approved, or wants to
see a third-party-submitted license rejected, and tries to manipulate
the process by encouraging employees to sign up for individual
memberships.
