Strictly speaking, those who are not interested in such a group and would
not take part in it, should not vote.

Strictly speaking, that is false.

Only if those voting are "stakeholders" (to use an ugly modern expression)
in the uk.* hierarchy. Otherwise, the point stands - those whose only
interest in the uk.* hierarchy is opposing this particular group for reasons
unconnected with the uk.* hierarchy should not be taking part in the vote.

Serious question: where does this "should" come from?

John Brigg's mind.

There is no "should". Anybody who feels the group may affect them is
fully entitled to vote according to how they think it will affect
them.

Anybody else, although it is a little pointless, can also vote, in
whatever manner they feel fit.
