"Maybe" in this case includes the CEO of Rackspace sending email out
to all employees telling them to join, so it is perhaps not so
speculative?  The worst that can happen: all platinum and gold company
leadership does the same, packs the election with their own employees
as voters and candidates, shuts out the individuals from the community
for which those seats are explicitly intended.  Why would there be any
other expectation?
