I think that this makes a great deal of sense - what if you nominated
me, and I had absolutely no desire whatsoever to serve, for whatever
reason (maybe I lack the time, maybe I don't agree with what FESCo is
doing, maybe I'm just not comfortable in that position) - there are a
million reasons why someone might decline a nomination - the person
*should* affirmatively say "yes, thank you, and if elected, I'll
serve";. I personally wouldn't call it a caveat, I'd call it common
sense

Sure. I had written caveat because I'd started to go in to the
particular use case that (iirc) Brian referred to, then I changed my
mind. Maybe, instead of 'caveat' or 'common sense', we can call it a
'requirement'.
