The issues that are relevant are what the candidates bring up, and the questions that are asked in the official question session, basically. And whatever else is big among fandom. But also we haven't actually had a contested election for awhile. (I basically only pay up when there's a contested election, because they aren't really hurting for membership money right now.)

I could probably do just as much by annoying asking questions about it of all the candidates, tbh, and not run the risk of winning, but a contested election makes people more likely to pay attention.

Individual Fanlore editors probably don't care much about OTW, but it is in theory managed by a committee of volunteers who are under the authority of the Board and set its policies. From what I have heard it has pretty consistently been pretty dysfunctional, probably mostly because nobody, including the Board, pays much attention to Fanlore. But theoretically one of the functions of the Board is to deal with committees that aren't serving the Org's interests anymore.

(I am not a good person to be on the Fanlore committee because I have thought from the beginning that they were doing it fundamentally wrong, but people making noise directly at the Board is probably the only way to get anywhere.)
