      10% will probably work well enough for this election.  I'm certain that there will be greater interest in the next election, and more members in all regions.  There might be some real value in modifying the threshold requirements at that time.

I also think that, absent any external cred, 10% might be a good test of organizational ability and commitment in this election -- perhaps too high a test in the NA region, but not that difficult to pass over in many other places.

On the other hand, I'm still concerned that requirements for high levels of popular support may open the door primarily for folks in pre-established networks, and thus not for "ordinary" users, but I don't think it's beyond the capacities of the electorate to make an informed decision.  So, in fact, I support the standard but would be happy to see special case exceptions -- as for the NA users.
