We've never really discussed that. Thus far, anyone who posted on the newsgroup 
could vote. Now, if there were a bunch of votes from unknown folks and that 
definitely shifted the vote, then I would fully expect those votes to be thrown 
out or the vote redone or whatnot (if nothing else, they could be sock puppets). 
But it's not like we've selected a list of people and said that they were the 
ones allowed to vote. The few times that we've voted on including something in 
Phobos thus far, it hasn't been an issue.
