Personally, I would vote Other and ask for a simultaneous chair and a 
co-chair election.

We have all 5 days to argue and persuade our 21 voters what would be the 
best way to use this first ballot. :-)  Fun.

Personally I think voting for a representative now is a bad idea; we don't 
yet know what we want it to mean. A representative of all the GA list 
subscribers? The physical attendees? Only of us, the 21 first voters? Of 
the typical individual DNS users? Etc.

That would have to be polled first. The Chair could decide that poll's options.

Without a chair (and a back-up chair) we will keep floundering.
