What I have done is participated in an ongoing debate about individual categories, sometimes helping draft wording for specific changes -- additions, revisions, or deletions. And I've made no secret of the fact that I think we currently charge too much to gain the franchise and that a Worldcon Supporting Membership of between $20 and $30 (rather than roughly twice that, which is what it is now) would be better for WSFS and the Hugo Awards. But that's not at all the same thing as saying the entire process is broken. And because I participate in the process, I think I have a lot more moral standing to express concerns about elements of it than do those who stand off and carp about the results while huddling behind a procedural shield.
