Hi Chris,

What I meant was a memo for the record, summing up the whole history of 
nominations, secondings and acceptances of all candidates right up to the 
deadline.
That would include Karl and Danny, even though they did not accept.

This info must be presented to the voters in the polling booth, together 
with our consensus on the term of office and the mandate for action.
The last vote has rejected the spokesperson/"GA representative"  role, 
which means the chair must solicit a vote on anything "representative" that 
he wants to utter outside the GA.

Re: term of office, "staggered" is the operative word. Both can have 6 
months, but the vice chair's term starts and ends a month later than the 
Chair's.

Thanks for being willing to put in the work.
