Eric,

That is not a reliable or efficient method on a mailing list.
If you wait one more day, I will put the available options on the Booth and 
in 6 days we will all know the answer without clogging up the GA list.

I believe 2 equal chairs operating at the same time on a mailing list is a 
recipe for strife and confusion.

Why not simply elect the most preferred candidate as chair and the runner 
up as vice chair and back-up?
At least that way we create some continuity in the effort to organize the 
unrepresented.

Thanks.
