Steve,

I humbly beg to disagree about there not being any precedent on releasing
vote
counts.  As a past candidate for the Interex Board of Directors, the vote
counts for
those elections have always been made available and published by Interex.
Which
sets the precedent.

I see absolutely no reason why the membership of OpenMPE should not be
given
the ballot counts.  Afterall, there should be nothing to hide since there
was an outside
auditor of the ballots to insure no 'hanging chads'.

My $ .04 for inflation,
