Stas:

Just b/c there are rarely any women at all that participate on this list, could we at list maintain a facade of gender neutrality?  I seriously can't believe that you used the word "him".  What about "her"?  Yeah, "her" as in myself and every other woman who codes with PHP whether to earn her living or to have a pleasant past-time?  I am sure that there are plenty of PHP women just like me who  might really appreciate having the opportunity to vote on changes that might effect the way we work.

Currently, it's as clear as mud to me as to what I need to do to be able to have some kind of voting impact.  The protocol or process needs to be clearly articulated in very clear language so that all concerned PHP men and women can be informed.
