Hi Bill,

I think a slight paraphrasing of the famous line from "Hamilton" sums up
the position of the AC members well:

"Talk less; listen more"

The goal is to hear what the other members of the community have to say,
not to tell the community what *their* position is.
If you want to know their position, read the candidate statements.
Personally, I'd find it off-putting if the AC members were to jump into a
discussion on a proposal with a significant position one way or the other.
Their job is to listen to the community and enact the will of the
community, not to impose their views on the community.

Matt
