Not sure about voting.  Ambassadors and FESCo have only started to vote
on their positions this past year after having a while to create a sense
of what roles the elected body is supposed to perform.  These positions
are also different than FESCo and Ambassadors in that it isn't an
election of a body of people -- it's an election to individual
positions.  This is the difference between elections for the city
council and elections for sheriff, treasurer, and mayor.  For these
specialized positions you want someone who is familiar with the issues
that will be facing them in that job as they will be the go-to person
when problems crop up in those areas.

Which isn't to say that voters couldn't do a good job of picking people
with the right skills and knowledge here either.  But I think we lack
one other criteria for good elections: voters.  Currently we only have
31 people listed in the sysadmin groups so it's somewhat silly to hold
elections for seven positions at this point.  I think a simple
confirmation/discussion will better serve us at this time.
