        Thanks for the question Wolf. 

        The election procedure is the one you describe.

        There is a vote with two options: for, or against, the sole candidate.

        If, after that vote, candidate has the required majority, candidate 
wins.

        If, after that vote, candidate has the highest number of votes (against 
"not-candidate") but does not have the required majority, there is a 2nd round 
where the voting choice becomes candidate, or abstain.

        I know this sounds redundant, but we have to follow the election 
procedure regardless of whether there are two candidates, or one.

        So in short: two rounds planned, unless outright win in first round.

        Hope this helps,

        
        Stéphane

                There's 1 question regarding the election procedure: are we 
going to proceed in 1 voting round or potentially in 2?
                 
                According to the draft procedures the council accepted to 
follow a first ballot should be taken between alternative candidates and a 
potential 2nd one between the candidate with the highest score and the "non of 
the above (nota)" option. Since we've just 1 candidate for the Council Chair 
the 2nd voting round seems to be the 1st - and only - one.
                 
                Is this the common understanding?
                 
                Kind regards
                Wolf-Ulrich

                        May we remind the Council that Voting will take place

                        In order for this to happen, the Council meeting will 
be split in  two parts:
                        * Full Open Council meeting with the current Council.
                        * Seat the new Councillors. Start new meeting, with one 
agenda item: the Chair  Election
                        * Election will take place by show of hands ;
                        
                        Thank you.
                        Kind regards,
