Below, please add your burning questions, hot topics, and critical issues. This list will be useful for board nominees clarifying their platforms and the focusing of future debates.


 * How hard should it be to become an SFC chapter? Should new chapters have to pass a test or meet a checklist of requirements?  If so, what qualifications are necessary?


 * How important is a paid Coordinator?
 * Where will SFC's funding come from? How do the candidates plan to get enough funding to cover a paid coordinator, if that is desirable?
 * How much aid should the global organization provide to the chapters, and what kind? Crucially, should the national organization ever directly fund the chapters, and if so how should it do that?


 * What should the global organization's priorities be? What does the global organization need to be working on that chapters cannot do individually?


 * What free culture issues should SFC focus on for the rest of this school year?


 * What should SFC's relationship to other organizations (EFF, PK, etc.) and corporations be?


 * SFC has been criticized (here and here) for focusing too heavily on music downloading. Is this fair? How would you respond?


 * What makes you different from all the other candidates? What unusual/unpopular positions/beliefs do you hold? (Please disagree with one another about something, it is possible for debates to be too boring and consensus-ridden.)
