Hello Andrew,

That is an excellent idea.

Ideally, a proper debate would best be accomplished with a
teleconference type format.  Given the short timeframe and the number
and geographic diversity of the candidates, I am doubtful that I could
pull that off.

However, I could expand upon your questionnaire approach, and that
would also suit my personal time constraints as well.

I will start a talk thread requesting some community input into
questions for the candidates.  I will use some of the questions from
the community in the set that will get sent to all candidates.

Candidates - would you be kind enough to respond to this email by
tomorrow with your willingness to participate in this 'debate'
process?

Thanks, and best regards.

Sanjeev
