[PC-NCSG] Time to elect a new chair and alternate chair(s)

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

thanks for the reply.

If I were to turn this into a process it might work something like

Nominees from both Cs
Top vote getter is Chair,
Next highest vote getter from other C is Alt-chair

(the theoretical edge case this does not cover is: if the person elected 
is an NCSG member but is not a C member.  But that is not a case we have 
to contend with in this choosing, so i do not worry it about, just 
noting the issue.)

So now we have two possible algorithms:

- simple
- alt-simple

Other opinions?
