(I'm just catching up with list traffic after a bank holiday weekend)

I think the fact that the Order is independent is an important one. I'm happy to contribute, to offer help (and even opinion) where I can, but more through facilitation than actual direction. The case may be different for other employees who contribute more of their own time to the community, but personally, I don't feel it's necessary to compromise the Order's independence by voting myself.
