According to the GPC ombuds, there are apparently no _rights_ to run for any position in the GPC. For example, during the reign of former leader Anomaly Paul, her cronies on the governance committee simply banned her opponents from runing for council using BS excuses. Originaly I had _rights_ as the wording but a person who submitted it in their name while I had tech problems changed it to _benefits_.
