If the tentative chairs have no objection, let's have them move ahead on =
any
chair-ish business as if the vote had succeeded. The only downsides I =
see are that nothing they do is official until the vote is formalized, =
and that there is the small chance the third counter will come up with =
some different election result.

If David doesn't surface after appropriate nagging, we could punt the =
issue to the IETF higher-ups for guidance.

We could ask the voters to re-send their votes to a different vote =
counter. I'd be happy to receive them. With Thomas Kula right down the =
hall, it would be fast and easy to keep on top of the incoming votes and =
nag those voters who hadn't re-sent. This assumes, of course, that it =
doesn't cause the IETF higher-ups to have a conniption.

Should a full re-vote be required, I'd be happy to serve as third =
counter and would withdraw as candidate. Somehow I doubt the result =
would be changing in my favor. :-)
