Let there also be questions by non-FPMers where we could let other people understand what the FPM is doing and why. Quote:

i have to strongly disagree with the first suggestion. the idea seems to be very attractive, however it is not efficient. we've done that in the past through a diversity of ways and here are the conclusions reached:
- the online community that would follow the Q&A session live is a very limited one.
- most of the participants are usually none voters
instead of wasting time and energy, it would be much more efficient to collect questions from the members over a given period of time (several weeks or months) and then submit them to the potential candidates to provide their own answers to the issues being addressed. threads can be subdivided either under individual candidates or under cazas.
