        As far as I'm concerned you made it close enough to the

        <br>
        <br>
        Of course it's up to the PC to decide, but if someone wants to
        object,
        <br>
        I would hope they'll also come up with a counterproposal, like
        <br>
        nominating themselves or someone else for the job. :-)

            I failed to specify timeline for the process, we discussed
            it in
            <br>
            our call that just ended that agreed to have one week for
            nominations
            <br>
            and their acceptance, and then another week for voting. So:
            <br>
            <br>
            * Candidates should be nominated and  have indicated their
            acceptance
            <br>
               within one week from now, by 24 January 23:59 UTC.
            <br>
            <br>
            * Vice Chairs may also be nominated and if any are, they
            will be
            <br>
               voted on at the same time as the Chair.
            <br>
            <br>
            * Voting will take place openly on this list after that and
            end one
            <br>
               week later, 31 Janyary 23:59 UTC, or when all PC members
            have voted.
            <br>
            <br>

              <br>
              Our charter says
              <br>
              <br>
              "A Chair will be elected or replaced from among the
              members of the
              <br>
              NCSG-PC by a 2/3 vote of the NCSG-PC membership on a
              yearly basis."
              <br>
              <br>
              "One or more Vice-Chairs may be chosen by the NCSG-PC on a
              <br>
              yearly basis."
              <br>
              <br>
              While beginning of the term isn't explicitly stated,
              calendar
              <br>
              year is a good default, and in any case the election
              should
              <br>
              happen at least roughly every year. So now is a good time.
              <br>
              <br>
              There is no election procedure defined, I would assume
              open
              <br>
              election on the list to be sufficient, but we can arrange
              <br>
              a closed election if desired.
              <br>
              <br>
              All PC members (but not observers) are eligible,
              councillors as well
              <br>
              as constituency representatives, with the sole exception
              of NCSG Chair
              <br>
              (me), and there's no term limit so current Chair and Vice
              Chairs are
              <br>
              also eligible.
              <br>
              <br>
              So, nominations please!
              <br>
              <br>
              Self-nominations are obviously also most welcome.
