I share Adam's concern. In my view the speaker's list doesn't reflect 
adequately the debate we had on this list. This concerns the standby 
position of William Drake but also the nomination of Richard Stallman. 
There has been no consensus on the nomination of Richard Stallman. I wonder 
why he was nominated with priority?
