I should make it clear I also regret the way I handled things. The world I come from is very different than the world most of you come from and that's pretty obvious. I should have considered that.

I would respectfully suggest, though, for the next round you only agree to nominate a candidate the NCSG will likely vote for. I guess people had different perspectives about how willing they were to vote for an IPC candidate against a decent CPH candidate.  I can understand what this group was trying to do but I also understand why others may feel nomination entails some future obligation, even if it was not explicitly told to them or even if it was stressed to them that was the case. Human nature. Bad situation all around. Good luck avoiding it in the future.

Best,

Ed

Also, if they CSG decides they would like another CSG councillor besides Heather to serve in that capacity, I don?t really mind.
