[PC-NCSG] [Gnso-ncph-leadership] NCPH v-chair election - just what we all have time for

[Stephanie Perrin]

I agree, for what it is worth.  I think it is going to be especially 
difficult for her, as a relative newcomer, to stay neutral.  However I 
do agree with Avri's assessment and if it came down to having Heather, 
we could do a lot worse.  and given that risk we need to ponder any 
rejection of her very carefully.
I also factor in the fact that she is very strong, and a lawyer.  If I 
am going to pick a fight with a potentially non-neutral Chair, I would 
prefer a weaker one, if you follow my somewhat convoluted logic.
Cheers Steph
