[NCSG-EC] Nominations

[Stephanie E Perrin]

Hi folks,

It was a busy day yesterday.  I am sorry to say that Tomslin's 
nomination and acceptance came after midnight UTC so it would be good if 
you guys quickly decided whether or not you are going to break another 
rule and accept it.  David's came in, by my computer time, one minute 
before the deadline so he is safe.  This decision is up to you, at least 
in my opinion, although you could consult some of the procedural experts 
for their views..

I have decided that I will withdraw my candidacy in order to give a 
newcomer a chance.  As you can see from the geographic and gender 
balance, even if the whole world hates me and I only get a few votes, 
our rules might dictate that I would win over a second African male.

I think it has been good to get new people running in this race, and 
although it has been very hectic and somewhat unusual, hopefully we have 
a good outcome in the end!

Kind regards,

Stephanie
