So if the rules don't make sense, let's see if we can find some rules that do.

For example: instead of having the arbitrary "10" endorsements, the GA 
voting registry should be allowed to cast both positive and negative 
endorsements of the candidates, and the candidate must have, in addition to 
10% of the voting registry in endorsements, more YES than NO endorsements 
in order to be considered by the board.

Just throwing out ideas....finding a sensible ruleset to propose is a 
necessary, but not sufficient precondition for a functioning DNSO.
