I request that a formal statement be made, in the Community Blog, or in the wider circulation Fedora Magazine,, which surfaces the 'off the record' discussions resulting in the cancellation of the most recent elections
In very few democracies, is an elections master invested with the authority to, and permitted to cancel an election, particularly when balloting has begun. I would say none, but ...
see for context:
Council ticket 153
I think this mailing list post basically sums it up:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/council-discuss@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/3T6U3MVYGDRAQAVVW6BHN2TUCWRFNCUH/
Is there something more that would help?

I think the cancellation of the election balloting is not as well publicised as you might think, when these 'inside the look' people do not understand the import
OK. They're aware now. Announcements were sent to the devel list about this. Do you have concrete suggestions to do other things to improve the visibility? If not, I'm not sure there's anything actionable on what you're pointing out.

As noted above, there really isn't anything deep -- this is all there is to it, and the elections are now in progress.
