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

[William Drake]

What about Tony Holmes, who has always been a straight shooter, neutral and friendly to us?  Too retired-feeling for your tastes?

I don?t know Heather well and yes she did seem reasonable but given all the history with IPC I do have trouble getting my head around this. It is absolutely inconceivable that they in turn would ever support a NCSG person for chair?

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.
