some minor typo corrections

Our counter-proposal is:

  * NCA is not to removed from any part of the process
  * there must be a vote along the previous lines - 8 to succeed.
  * as many nominees as come forward in a week.
  * 1st round if one gets 8 then done, if not second round between top two
  * 2nd round if one get 8 then done, if not do 3rd round of leader
    against NOTA
  * 3rd round if person does not get 8, leave the seat open until we get
    our act together. 
  *  then CSG PCs, NCSG PC, NCPH council members and NCA  talk until we
    get our act together.
