	I do understand trust management. I didn't answer because it was 
irrelevant. However, the definition of electioneering IS relevant. Let's 
start with Merriem-Webster:

Main Entry: elecˇtionˇeer
Pronunciation: i-"lek-sh&-'nir
Function: intransitive verb
Etymology: election + -eer (as in privateer, v.)
: to take an active part in an election; specifically : to work for the 
election of a candidate or party
- elecˇtionˇeerˇer noun

	I see do not see "tampering" or any implication of it here.

	I can't find anything about it in the bylaws. A demand to elect new 
officers, on the other hand, is not electioneering, although I would 
like to see the wording of this demand.
