Our weekend deliberations

As all of you know over the weekend the Board of Dictators met to consider the applications of two potential members. While there was general agreement that one of the applicants was more qualified than the other, there was not yet general agreement that the applicant in question should be inducted into the Board of Dictators without further surveillance. We resolved to continue our background investigations and run further tests on the genetic material supplied by the applicant. We expect to have a decision in the coming days. Barring any unforeseen complications we should have our decision in a few days' time. At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not cautious and we hope our supporters will understand!
