[PC-NCSG] [urgent] NCPH candidate nomination

[Edward Morris]

Hi Rafik,

Thanks for all of your hard work on this.

I think it is in the best interest of the NCSG for there to be a campaign. We can use this as an opportunity to educate the candidates of our concerns, and hopefully extract some promises of support for the things we most care about in exchange for things the candidates most care about: winning the election. :)

I think Heather and James are both decent people and fine candidates. Barring something shocking I do know in the end who I will be supporting but let's play this one out. It's always better to have an election than it is to have a coronation.

Thanks again, Rafik, for sorting all of this out for us.

Best,

Ed

We can go with nominating Heather since we are not proposing any alternative (we had the opportunity to do so) and we will decide for the votes later, more carefully. there will opportunities to discuss with candidates and personally I think we have to weight all options.
