What I didn't know was that there was a qualification check for local level delegates. Does this qualification check occur multiple times as someone goes up the chain? It seems useful to have in place to ensure someone isn't just charismatic and able to get voted up based on popularity.

One thing I will say about the layout of this graphic is that the hover-overs are not very obvious, and could be indicated as such. I was asking myself "it would be nice if it said what the responsibilities of this committee were" because it's hidden behind hover overs.

Do we support restrictions on who people can vote for? I thought we usually regarded that as a bad thing.

I don't see a problem with examinations existing for competency. Without it how do you ensure that the committees are elevating people based on merit?

I don't see it as a restriction on who you can vote for, you can vote for anyone on the committee but they need to be studious enough to pass the qualification check which I assume is like an exam?

Don't give me that. Ultimately the entire thing is meant to restrict candidates to a whitelist, the only question is whether that is a good thing or a bad thing. Saying you can vote for anyone who made the whitelist and therefore the vote is not restricted is silly question-begging and it's below you.

Polite warning: the graphics are surprisingly hardware-intensive. This froze up my cheapo phone.

It's actually a fully 3d thing going on so yeah it's going to hurt low end hardware.

It’s an intense webpage lol

After revisiting it on a desktop, I was surprised it was possible to even condense it to anything remotely useful on a tiny mobile screen.

That's the sort of stuff web developers used to really pride themselves on-- a page which really adapted to the screen being used, rather than just "Oh, you have a 27" monitor, let's continue to hide menus and secondary info as though you were scrolling on a two-inch Nokia featurephone"
