Re: [ga] Chair election dates

["Rod Dixon, J.D., LL.M." <roddixon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To help clarify the record, i will second the nominations of Eric and  
Sotiris for chair and vice chair, respectively. I also agree with the  
judgment that we begin with a chair that has a 6 month term and a  
vice chair that has a 7 month chair. I think the GA should consider  
adopting longer terms for these positions once the self-organizing  
efforts are accomplished.
