objections will take it upon myself to send the nomination to the<br>
secretariat together with CSG (apparently represented in this case by<br>
Wolf-Ulrich, even though CSG doesn't have a chair as such).<br>

So far out of 11 PC members I count Rafik, Stefania, Martin, myself<br>
and Matthew in favour, still waiting for Marilia, Stephanie, Tatiana,<br>
Ayden, Poncelet and Juan.<br>
